California Department of Public Health released on 02/19/2021 an amended Return to Play guidelines for baseball and softball. Here is the updated guidelines link, https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/COVID-19/outdoor-indoor-recreational-sports.aspx.

Local Leagues can now resume playing in competitive games on one of two conditions: 1) their county enters the Red Tier, or 2) While in the Purple Tier, their county has an adjusted case rate equal to or less than 14 per 100,000 and parents have signed off on an informed consent form indicating their understanding and acknowledgement of the risks of playing during the pandemic.

So what does this mean? If your county falls within one of these two scenarios, games can resume (with the continued mitigation guidelines in place) starting no sooner than February 26th. Sadly, at this point in time, no county in Southern California meets either of these scenarios.
