COVID-19 Prevention

Canandaigua Junior Baseball and Softball (CJB) is committed to providing a healthy and safe environment for our community. While the games of baseball and softball hold a special place in our heart, the health and safety of our entire CJB community is our main concern. These guidelines are meant to comply with all Federal, State, and local guidance on preventing the spread of COVID-19.

New for the 2021 season and in accordance with updated guidance from New York State, we’ve streamlined these requirements from last year’s version. All CJB participants (defined here as spectators, parents, coaches, players, volunteers, and officials) are expected to follow these guidelines.

Your participation in Canandaigua Junior Baseball & Softball indicates your acceptance, understanding, and commitment to follow these guidelines in any applicable capacity.

Promoting Behaviors to Reduce the Spread of COVID

All CJB participants, coaches, and volunteers must assess for COVID symptoms daily. Per the CDC, COVID symptoms include shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, cough, fever, chills, muscle pain, headaches, sore throat, and the loss of taste or smell. 

Any participant, coach, or volunteer experiencing COVID symptoms must stay at home; anyone taking part in a CJB event must be symptom-free for 14-days. 

CJB will provide adequate supplies for participants to comply with requirements. CJB will provide supplies including soap, sanitizer, paper towels, tissues, and wipes. CJB will post signs on its premises and online reminding participants of the infection control requirements that are in effect. 

  • Physical distancing markers will be posted in common and high-traffic areas such as the concessions stand and restrooms. 
  • These requirements will be posted on the CJB website, social media sites, and sent via e-mail to participants. 

COVID-19 Resources

All bats carry a certification, most commonly USA, USSSA, or BBCOR. All CJB House League levels between TBall and Major must use ONLY USA certified bats. USSSA or BBCOR bats are not permitted at these levels. All CJB House League bats should include the following label:


USA Bats

The USA Baseball standard applies to the Little League organization (as well as CJB House baseball). USA certified bats have a wood-like performance that preserves the integrity of the game and keeps younger players as safe as possible.

Other Certifications

The following bat certifications are NOT APPROVED for CJB House League use.

BBCOR

The Batted Ball Coefficient of Restitution (BBCOR) measures the trampoline effect in each bat at and after the time of impact. BBCOR certified bats are most commonly at the high school and college level. Note: BBCOR bats are required for Senior League Fall Ball (levels 13U and older).  

USSSA BPF 

Bat Performance Factor (BPF) measures how fast the ball comes off of the bat. 1.15 is the standard for many travel tournaments.
