Season 2020 Update

Hello all and welcome to take 2 of season 2020! Recent easing of Covid-19 restrictions mean we are now able to finally begin our preseason training. Whilst there is no confirmation as yet regarding a season start date or duration, we can at least start getting out of the house and putting in some work!

This has been and will most likely continue to be a very unusual start to the season, and one that will require and little bit of patience and understanding from us all. For the time being training will be restricted to 10 players and 2 coaches per group with a maximum of 2 groups at any one time(one in the infield and one in the outfield). Trainings will run in accordance with the current social distancing and sanitation guidelines. Disappointingly, we do not as yet have access to the batting cage.

The next wave of changes is due on the 1st of June so with any luck, things can start feeling a little bit more normal really soon.

>> > NOW FOR THE IMPORTANT PART < < < WE NEED TO KNOW ASAP IF YOU ARE PLAYING!!

We need to provide BV, MWBL and local council with information about absolutely everything at the moment, including player numbers as well as training attendees. Before any of us (players and officials) can take the field for training we need to register with sportsTG (go to the BV website and
click the “return to activity” link)

I know a lot of you can’t wait to get back out and play, similarly I know there will be many that are quite enjoying the time off, as well as those who have health concerns surrounding Covid-19. There are no right or wrong answers.

I will however urge those who are 50/50 on playing, to jump over to the playing side. I truly believe we have a very special community at Monty, one that we can all be very proud of. We can lean oneach other to navigate the uncertain times ahead, we can talk to each other, listen to each other,support each other and go out there and just have fun. Oh there is the matter of BACK TO BACK flags to take care of too.

Please indicate below which session you would like to be in for training THIS SATURDAY 30THMAY, we will stretch/throw and take some easy bp on the field.Sessions will run for 45 minutes plus 15 mins at the end for disinfecting equipment in accordance with gov’t guidelines.

GROUP 1: 10:00am – 11:00am
GROUP 2: 11:00am – 12:00pm
GROUP 3: 12:00pm – 1:00pm
GROUP 4: 1:00pm – 2:00pm (if required)

Further updates will be provided as they come to hand.

Thanks again for your patience and
GO MONTY!
