Golden Hill Little League Families :
 
We hope this message finds you and your family well. With continued uncertainty around so many things in our lives because of COVID-19, the GHLL Board of Directors wanted to inform you where things currently stand for Golden Hill Little League.  
 
On August 3rd, the California Department of Health released guidance for a safe return to youth sports for school-based, club, and recreational organizations. The new guidance allows for a restart of youth sports that can operate outside, keep physical distancing of at least 6 feet between participants, and maintain a stable cohort (e.g : a class or team).  In other words, only social distance training and conditioning is allowed within the same group of participants for its duration. No games, scrimmages, or competitions of any kind would be allowed for the foreseeable future.
 
On Aug 6th, the Fullerton Parks and Recreation Department stated that they will only give permits for field use to Fullerton organizations who can strictly follow the updated CA Dept. of Health youth sports guidance. Failure to adhere to said guidelines can result in the loss of field use in future seasons.
 
Simply stated, Golden Hill Little League traditional Fall Ball cannot be played under the new DPH policy, and we certainly respect the policy set by the City of Fullerton.
 
However, GHLL understands that youth sports benefit children’s physical and mental health while also playing a crucial role in socialization and learning how to be part of the community. With schools going to a distance learning model for the foreseeable future, we feel that now is an even more important time for the youth sports organizations in Fullerton to help provide these health benefits to every child we can.
 
As such, we are looking into developing programs that meet the DPH guidelines and can be offered to our GHLL community to provide the physical activity the kids need. We hope to be reaching out to you within the next two weeks with details.

Thanks as always for your continued support!
