EBA Update 7/3/2020
Eagan Travel Baseball Parents-
A few reminders about the upcoming weeks of baseball…
Please read the attached guidelines about player and spectator expectations for games. These are set forth by the Metro Baseball League and need to be followed. Some associations may have additional rules (e.g., masks, number of spectators allowed) and we are required to follow the rules of our host associations or cities when playing away games. Coaches and team managers will work to determine any additional requirements that may be at away games.
At this point, the city of Eagan and EBA have not put restrictions on the number pf spectators per player at games. However, please use discretion when inviting additional spectators to games. Additional limits regarding spectators may be required if this becomes problematic.
As a reminder, the code of conduct states that all families and players will adhere to the COVID-19 rules and could be removed from Eagan baseball if these are not followed.

Our Eagan Baseball family suffered the tragic loss of our friend and teammate, Patric Vitek. Patric was a member of our 2019 Cooperstown team and was heavily involved in sports year-round in EAA. He will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him.
The 700+ member families of Eagan Baseball Association, as well as the EHS Wildcats Baseball families stand ready to support the Vitek family however we can. We ask that you please keep Patric’s parents, Brian and Cheryl Vitek, their younger son Jack, and all of his family and friends in your thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time.

About the Eagan Baseball Association
Eagan Baseball offers two programs: In-House and Travel.
In-house baseball is available to players from Pre-K through their senior year in high school. Some older ages will travel to surrounding communities for games, but most play for in-house will be in Eagan. See registration tab for more information on in-house schedules. In-house is a less competitive, less time intense option for players who enjoy baseball but do not want to commit to a travel schedule.
The Traveling Baseball program provides intensive skill development and a high level of competition. The program offers opportunities to develop confidence and teamwork while competing with teams representing other area communities.
