Restricted field usage due to EEE

Updated Saturday August 24, 2019 by Douglas Youth Baseball & Softball.

There have been several incidents of residents contracting Eastern Equine Encephalitis this year- the first time since 2013. As of 8/23/2019, Douglas is categorized at Moderate Risk and slated for spraying sometime after 8/25/19.

The DYBS Board of Directors have taken the position that activity on all fields will be limited to the timeframe between dawn and dusk until further notice to mitigate the risk of contracting the disease to our players and volunteers.
