Coming to Lorenzi Park?  Mask up!

LVSSA Members,

Our Board of Directors was contacted by the City of Las Vegas Municipal Sports Unit regarding our usage of Lorenzi Park as observed by Marshals and staff.  We have been notified that we are not in compliance with the mask rule set forth and agreed upon in order for us to use the fields.

This notification is the first and hopefully the last from Recreation Staff.   We want our permit to remain in place.  We also have our memorandum of understanding for field charges waived of approximately $24,000 annually and that cannot be jeopardized/cancelled.

The directive is very clear from CLV – from the time you leave your car a mask/face covering must be worn at all times while at Lorenzi Park.  Social distancing is not a substitute for the removal of your mask.

The only time a mask is not mandatory is while on the field as a player.  While coaching a base, in the dugout, restroom, concourse area etc., you are required to have the mask on until you are back in your vehicle.

All Field Directors and Board members have been notified.  You have a choice to participate or not but participation means adhering to the rule and respecting the field directors trying to keep us on the field.

Let’s all stay safe and comply with the City’s request.

Laurie Buchman, LVSSA President

From Jim Whipple:

I want to take a couple minutes to cover our Saturday schedule and rules. 

First, LVSSA Inc. must submit a request for Saturday play each month with the City of Las Vegas Municipal Sports Unit.  We are granted fields if they are not reserved by another group. This is why it is difficult to guarantee dates when teams request days and times.

Secondly, Saturday play was designed for players and teams who can not utilize fields during the week. Priority will be given to these people and teams. Teams are welcome to use fields for games during the week still.    Wednesdays at 9:30 am is always open, for other days you will need to contact your field representatives/coordinators.

Third, All players must adhere to all City of Las Vegas and LVSSA rules. Teams managers are responsible that enforcement of all City and Association rules. LVSSA will not accept excuse of I did not know rules. In coming weeks all managers will receive a complete list of rules and restrictions.

Rules for Saturdays, 

• All players must be an LVSSA member or team member. LVSSA policy states; players may play one day, then must be members. New players must complete a registration/waiver form prior to playing.
• Membership is $40 for balance of 2020 playing season.   Go to LVSSA.com, sign-in and click on “Become a Member”.
• LVSSA Team -  All players must be members or with a minimum of 6 members a team may be considered a LVSSA team by paying a $200 fee for balance of team (this allows non-members to play Saturdays and our special occasion games only.)
• Alcohol - NO alcohol permitted at Lorenzi Park.

We will be posting a Saturday schedule as soon as we get some volunteers to assist with Saturday play. Call Jim Whipple to sign-up and volunteer 586-822-2665.
