The league will follow the rules according to the CDC and NJ DOH, with the more stringent always taking precedent. Currently Somerset County is listed as a Red County. This means the current recommendations for quarantine, as set by the state of NJ are as follows:

"Outside of high-risk congregate settings, following prolonged close contact (within 6 feet for a cumulative total of 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period) with someone with COVID-19, persons should quarantine UNLESS:

• Individuals are fully vaccinated , OR
• Individuals have clinically recovered from COVID-19 in the past 3 months.

Since we are currently a RED county; NJ recommends the following for Quarantine:

• 14 days quarantine for group settings and organized activities

It is important to note that this is more stringent the current CDC guidelines and is based on our current "Red" risk level. Note this is an excerpt from the guidance, for those that want to read more; below are the links to the NJ and CDC guidance.

Hello SHLL families,

Somerset Hills Little League will be hosting our local MLB Pitch, Hit and Run skills competition on April 24th. The competition is open to boys and girls ages 7-14 (age as of July 17, 2021) and we will designate time slots for baseball and softball players at different ages, depending on their game schedule, throughout the day.  The competition will be held in between games at Kiwanis Park.  

Each participant will compete for a few minutes throughout the day.  It will be a lot of fun for our players during our 2nd weekend of the SHLL season!  Local winners have the ability to advance to regional competitions held at MLB ballparks and ultimately get a chance to participate at the 2021 AllStar Game.
