Return to Play: LSO (Association) Support Network
About the Softball BC LSO Support Network
LSO = Local Sports Organization (i.e. Club/Association)
Updated: June 3, 2021
The intent of the LSO Support page is to establish a network of documents, information sources and peers to assist LSO's with their Return to Play plans. Developed with the Back to Bases: Return to Play Taskforce, Softball BC is committed to supporting LSO's in their plans to return to play in 2021 and beyond. Many associations successfully returned to the field in 2020 and 3500 participants were able to take part in softball activities. Working with other LSO's, Softball BC can connect you and your club with Peer Support and together work through the issues/barriers that may arise while you develop your Safety Plan and own successful Return to Play protocols and procedures.
For help or more information please contact Softball BC at info@softball.bc.ca or 604-371-0302.
