Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf’s office on Friday released an FAQ document with some answers about summer recreation, camps and pools. It says that organized sports — which includes Little League baseball and softball — can only resume in Pennsylvania counties that reach the “green” phase of Wolf’s three-phase, color-coded plan.
If a county reaches green and are able to resume, Anticipating the possibility of youth ball returning, Little League released a set of guidelines to help ensure safety.
“Parents are gonna have to make those decisions,” Keener said. “But what we wanna do is show them it can be done as, we think, as safely as possible.”
Sen. Pat Toomey, who moderated the roundtable, said he thinks it is safe enough for kids to resume playing Little League to get back to some kind of normal.
“I have a 10-year-old son, and if we could resume Little League baseball where I live, I would sign him up tomorrow, because I’m convinced this can be done safely,” he said.
Wolf’s announcement about organized sports emphasized that the FAQ did not address professional sports.
