WWLOA/WSLA Covid-19 policy

WSLA governs Covid-19 policies (in step with State laws) league-wide.  Currently there are no restrictions.  Current USAL and NFHS rules allow for players to wear soft masks should they desire to do so.  We will update this page as needed if these policies change throughout the season.
