Little League ASAP Guidance for the 2021 Season: Coronavirus Pandemic Mitigation As the world continues to cope with the coronavirus pandemic, planning for the 2021 Little League® season poses a variety of previously unimaginable challenges for local leagues and districts. The highest priority for Little League communities is to create a safe and healthy environment for all children. With that fundamental goal in mind, the importance of preparing and executing A Safety Awareness Program (ASAP) Safety Plan is critically important. Including a coronavirus mitigation protocol is strongly encouraged when preparing your 2021 ASAP plan. Safety Plans submitted without the inclusion of a coronavirus mitigation plan will be eligible for approval by Little League, however the lack of such protocols will likely affect the opportunity to be recognized as a regional or national winner of the Best Safety Plan award. As leagues work on their Safety Plan and creating a welcoming environment during this uncertain year, here are some best practices for Safety Officers and league volunteers to consider when preparing their ASAP Safety Plans.
