The Little League World Series is back this summer, but fan’s won’t be invited in to the annual tournament.
The Little League World Series announced Friday that fans will not be allowed to attend due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The health and well-being of our teams and mitigating their exposure to COVID-19 must continue to be our main priority, as we conclude our World Series events,” Little League president and CEO Stephen Keener said in a statement. “With updated guidance from the CDC, and in consultation with our Pandemic Response Advisory Commission and medical advisors, we feel it’s essential to revert our attendance policy to unfortunately limit the spectators in Williamsport to the family and friends of our 16 participating teams and our highest-level volunteers and supporters.
