Little League Recommends Temporary Suspension

Provided by Little League

In a statement released by Little League on March 16, the organization stated, “The Little League International Board of Directors and staff is now strongly advising all its local Little League programs to suspend/delay their Little League seasons through no earlier than Monday, May 11. We implore you to follow this recommendation and suspend all Little League activities through no earlier than May 11.

We recognize that this is the heart of the traditional Little League season, and we share in the great disappointment that many are feeling surrounding this additional pause in the 2020 season. However, it is our hope that by doing this, we will all play a small, but important part in flattening the curve in the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.”

Little League is one of the most iconic youth sports programs, and it is only one of many, for youth and adult leagues, to close its doors until the pandemic has subsided.
