Dear parents, players and Berlin baseball-community!

We hope you spent some peaceful days with you loved ones over the holidays, and also had a productive and healthy start into the new year. The past year has been full of uncertainty, challenges and stress due to the Covid-19 pandemic and we hope you and your loved ones were able to navigate it all safely.

Unfortunately, the pandemic wreaked havoc on our ALLBB baseball plans for 2020. We cancelled our traditional ALLBB season between April to June and also were not able to offer a winter baseball practice this year. Moreover, we do not know what the new year will bring.

The new year has started with a new series of strict lockdowns for schools, restaurants, shops and most public life, which includes team sports. Though there may be light at the end of the tunnel with the beginning of the vaccination campaign, we do not know how quickly it will enable communal activities like sports and ALLBB to start up again. In a nutshell: we do not know if and when the 2021 ALLBB season can start.

The ALLBB board will begin preparing for a season shortly, reaching out to you – the broader baseball community – to find coaches, umpires and other volunteers to help prepare the season. So while we do not yet know if a season will take place, we do want to be prepared when it does.

We will keep you informed about any developments and hope you stay with us.

Best

Board of the ALLBB
