BCBUA Member Update - June 12, 2020 June 12, 2020
June is normally a month where we are all run off our feet trying to keep up with all of the baseball amidst the last month of school, graduations and families preparing for summer….this spring has felt surreal for all of us. In an effort to do our best to serve our members, the BCBUA Board of Directors has met several times in the last few months trying to keep up with all the changes and ensure our members were kept up to date. We have worked diligently to provide as much baseball education through non-contact methods as possible.
Many of our members have enquired about refunds of their membership because there has been no baseball so far this year. Although there are now plans underway for potential limited startup of some play in late summer or fall, to date there has been no need for on field officials in baseball.
