The Youth sports pause mandated by the Governor DOES apply to our Dome usage.  During the "Pause" there will be no access to the Youth Baseball hours at the Dome.  For questions on impact to volunteer hours and prorated credits see the information below and the Dome FAQ page.

STMA Youth Baseball will again offer memberships for batting cage and field time at the Dome this winter.  However, there will be some significant changes this year due to the Covid 19 Pandemic to ensure safety for all players and adherence to all regulations and rules set by the State and Local governments and the school district.  STMA Youth Baseball does not own the Dome; we rent time just as all the other youth associations who use it in STMA.  This year the Youth Baseball Dome hours consist of 820 total hours of cage time and 84 hours of field time over the course of 3 months beginning in December up to Tryouts on February 27th.

Sick players and volunteers can not return until they have met the guidelines put in place by MDH and STMAYBA.  If you are feeling sick DO NOT ATTEND THE DOME.  If you are not allowed to go to school (quarantined), You're NOT allowed to attend the Dome.  If you have tested positive for COVID19 or suspect you have it, you must email stmabaseball@outlook.com as soon as possible.  You cannot return to the Dome without a negative test (if tested positive).
