Statement from the Nevada Griffons Board of Directors

​



May 27, 2020 - After much discussion and careful consideration, the Nevada Griffons Board of Directors voted unanimously at their May meeting to cancel their 2020 season.





The board acknowledges that this was a very difficult decision, but one that had to be made out of an abundance of caution and concern for the safety of our fans, host families, players and coaches. The Griffons have been a part of the Nevada community for over 35 years now, and that commitment is what guided the board to make this decision.







We cannot ask host families to accept players into their homes in these uncertain times. We cannot risk the safety of our fans and volunteers at games and large gatherings. We cannot promise the families of our players that we can keep them safe and healthy, considering the close interactions that take place during games.







Additionally, we cannot ask the businesses of Nevada who have been so loyal to us throughout the years to provide sponsorships and financial support at a time when many of them are suffering economically. It is appropriate that we return that loyalty now by supporting them.







We'll be back and ready to compete as a part of the M.I.N.K. League in 2021. We look forward to seeing all of our fans back at Lyons Stadium at that time, rooting us on and enjoying the best of summer collegiate baseball.
