Possible Schedule Changes and Cancellations due to COVID-19: The Hillsborough County Parks and Recreation Department has seen a lot of changes over the past 10 months. Because Citrus Park is on County Property we must abide by our Facilities Use Agreement with the Parks and Recreation Youth Athletics Division. Here in Hillsborough County, we have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and we are still not at regular, traditional programming. We have been fortunate to begin youth athletics under COVID-19 protocols. As a whole, leagues throughout the county have done very well implementing these protocols to reduce infection and increase safety. Unfortunately, we find ourselves in a situation now where nationally, state-wide, and county-wide, the positivity rate is rising and future restrictions may have to be put in place. When we began opening up sports during the fall 2020 season, we were at 6% and we are currently at 9% and trending up. We will let everyone know as soon as possible if there are changes being made regarding the COVID-19 County guidelines and procedures. It is very possible that we will have to scale things back if the positivity rate continues to climb. We understand the need for our youth to stay active, but in the interest of public health, there may be postponements or cancellations of activities with little or no advanced notice. Citrus Park in not liable for any cancellations or postponements due to changes in Hillsborough County guidelines, this is beyond the control of our park volunteers and all registration fees are non-refundable. As always, our park volunteers will use all means at our disposal to keep costs down and keep our baseball and softball programs up and running for the youth in our community. Please continue to be proactive, social distance, wear face coverings when not distanced, and sanitize frequently. All current county COVID-19
