Announcement re: Spring 2020 Season

TSLL Families

We hope this update finds your family healthy. During this unprecedented time we are focused on making the best decisions for our Tempe South Families and community as a whole. This past week Little League International made an announcement that they are cancelling the LLWS and regional tournaments this season.  We had a call this morning with other Arizona Little League Presidents and we have also agreed to cancel the District and State Tournaments this summer.  Unfortunately, for our youth and families the loss of sports is very frustrating, however, reacting with an abundance of caution is the best course for everyone.

We will be processing full refunds for everyone registered for the Spring Season.  Due to the steps we must follow through our software provider, refunds may take 3-4 weeks to process.  Logistically, it is not possible to move funds to a future season.  Our non recoverable costs leading into this Spring season are over $10,000.  If you are willing to have your registration fees converted to a League donation, please email me directly by Thursday, May 7 at president@tempesouth.com. and we can provide the proper receipt for tax purposes and employer matching if possible.  As a community driven, non profit league, all donations we receive will help us greatly as we prepare for future seasons.
 
It is our intent to have our normal Fall League running September thru early December.  We will send out registration info in July.

Stay safe, heed social distancing guidelines, wear a mask and wash your hands.
