What a crazy past 12 months that we have had trying to navigate our day-to-day activities amidst the Covid-19 pandemic. Fortunately, in 2020, we were eventually able to play the great game that we love.  We are all crossing our fingers that we are able to do the same in 2021. Last year proved that we can all do what it takes, and we will be ready to do so again.

Plans are well underway for our 2021 Provincial Championships as well with the dates released earlier.

As of June 20, 2021, Tournaments are now allowed within Saskatchewan only for Saskatchewan teams to take part. Out of Province travel is still NOT ALLOWED until at least July 11, 2021.

Once we receive further details from the Government of Saskatchewan and Saskatchewan Health Authority, we will be sure to keep our membership updated in this document.

For the time being, please see detailed below what is and is not currently allowed based on the Re-Open Saskatchewan Plan.

2021 Return to Train & Play Protocols – June 21, 2021

We are very pleased to announce our plan for the 2021 Baseball Sask Provincials Championships.

Due to the late start to the season because of Covid-19, we have moved back the dates for our Championships and also given most teams options.

What our Playoff Committee has decided to do is to give most Divisions and Categories 2 Options to when they would like to participate in Provincials.  For all 11U, 13U, 15U and 18U AA Tier 1 to Tier 6 (If we have enough teams enter), these teams will have the Option to enter and play either July 23-25 or August 13-15 (Teams can only play on one of these weekends, not both).

NOTE: These Championships all depend on the approval of tournaments by the Government of Saskatchewan.
