Youth and Adult Sports Update
Under the state’s new Outdoor and Indoor Youth and Recreational Adult Sports guidance, outdoor moderate-contact and high-contact sports may resume in Anaheim on Feb. 26, 2021. This means sports like softball, baseball and soccer are back!

We’re excited to welcome everyone back and are taking efforts to make sure we do so in a safe way. We’re asking team coaches to submit an updated operational plan and game schedule prior to the start of the season. Game permits will not be issued until we have received and approved your plan. Click here to complete your plan. Games should not be played unless permit and payment have been completed.

We will not be issuing all-stars, travel or club affiliated groups game permits at this time.

We encourage everyone to view and become familiar with the state’s updated guidance. We will be following and enforcing these guidelines.
