We have received many calls and emails the past few days regarding the league status due to the COVID-19 situation. Therefore, we feel it is important to assure everyone that we have all intentions of playing this spring/summer season of ball.

After communications with St. Charles county and the city of O’Fallon we feel it is best to plan for a possible start date of May 4th. Please note that we will be evaluating and receiving guidance with this start date on a week to week basis. Therefore, we could start earlier or possibly later depending on recommendations and mandates by officials.

In the meantime, we are suspending all OCAC activities currently. No manager meetings will be held in person and we will be notifying all coaches of how we will be handling those meetings. No equipment or gameballs will be handed out until we are given the green light by officials to help reduce the possibility of contamination. The office will remain closed as we continue to work and rework schedules accordingly and please take into consideration, we are understaffed due to illness causing delays in email and phone replies.

We have been informed by the city of O’Fallon that there will be no field rentals and they will be reevaluating the status of that on April 3. If you choose to practice, please follow the CDC recommendations regarding individual distance and proper sanitizing of all equipment that you use.

These are very trying times for all of us as we are dealing with a situation that most of us have never encountered. It is imperative that together we show patience, calm and understanding so that once this passes our children can enjoy the sport they love to play.

Sincerely,

OCAC Board of Directors
