this spring

Gear hangs quietly in the dugout as players line the field during opening day ceremonies kicking off the youth baseball and softball season at Rotary Park in Ellensburg in 2017. After missing last spring due to COVID-19, youth baseball and softball return this spring

Playtime Youth sports return to action this spring

Ok, it’s great that the pro sports are back in action and we were able to enjoy some March Madness this year, but the question that matters in Kittitas County is when are youth sports returning?

Good news, this spring will see kids playing baseball, softball and soccer in Ellensburg. Ellensburg Youth Baseball and Softball and Kittitas Valley Junior Soccer Association are both organizing teams and competitions.

Obviously, there are COVID modifications, but once the action starts conversations about the pandemic likely will recede, replaced with cheers and shouts of joy, from the fields and the stands. Check the Ellensburg Youth Baseball and Softball and the KVJSA websites for information about teams and games. •
