2020 USBA Season Cancelled!

By USBA Admin 7/17/2020 8:59:21 PM

To all USBA players,

We hope you and your families are all well. It saddens us here at the USBA to inform all of you that unfortunately due to the current and unclear future situation we are left with no choice but to cancel the 2020 USBA season.

We have exhausted ourselves working with the town to salvage the current season but to no prevail. Having said that, a glimmer of some softball being played this year is still something which could take place in the near future.

We will keep working with the town of Markham in the hope we can have a few tournaments before the Fall. We will notify teams if this is to come to fruition.

Please remain safe during this time and enjoy the remainder of the summer. We hope to see all of you on the field soon!

USBA Committee.
