• Common grassy area just in front of the School

• Please keep children from climbing on the Jennie Dean Manassas Industrial School Memorial located nearby.It can be visited, but with respect and proper distancing.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a few noted changes to our normal Picture Day:

• COVID POLICIES:  (attached) Olson’s measures being employed to keep everyone safe

• Outside Pictures Only; Rain Date if needed 10/10/2020

   (GMBL will make rain day call with Olson’s as needed and post on website/Facebook)

• PICTURE DAY SCHEDULE (Below by Team), please adhere to times for your team to keep players distanced and schedules aligned with Game times.

• A few teams have pictures after their games due to Manager Conflicts supporting two teams or just not enough time slots to safely host all 9am Games prior to your game time.

• All members should socially distance and we recommend wearing a mask while waiting for Pictures

• PICTURE PROPS:  Players must bring their own Props for Pictures - Bat, Ball, Glove or Catchers Equipment.  Please be Creative and have fun with this!

• Players/Coaches come dressed in Full Game Day attire for Pictures

• NO TEAM PICTURES – Composite Pictures will be created for Teams (attached sample)

• Please depart the picture area immediately after your individual picture is taken

• PICTURE DELIVERY (ATTENTION MANAGERS) – Olson’s will confirm your proper Home Mailing Address, as your team’s Picture orders will be mailed directly to you.  You will then distribute them to your team to limit contact.

• PICTURE DAY ORDERS -   New Process!  Use the Attached Order Form/Process below to order your pictures.  Print out Order Form, Fill it Out and secure proper payment before arrival.    Forms will be available onsite only if needed, but this is being done to reduce any unnecessary contact.   Purchase is not mandatory, but please have your player attend for the Team Composite and for our Sponsor Plaques for your team!

CUSTOMER SERVICE:   If you have an issue with a purchased Picture Pack, please contact Olson’s Photography directly for resolution.   This is rare, but with so many players, there can be occasional issues.   They have amazing customer service and will work with you directly.

PICTURE DAY SCHEDULE:

Below is the link to a Registration listing as of 9/10/2020 4:30 pm of all players, coaches, umpires, family members that have completed the 2020 GMBL Health Waiver Form.   

This is required for all players and coaches to participate even in practice.   Please note, we tried to associate the players/coaches to their assigned teams, but some members may not be linked for a number of reasons 1)  Coaches may be supporting more than one team, we can show only one association so they are linked to a different team, 2) Duplicate records have been setup for the Member and the Team assignment is on the other record, so team assignment is blank,  3) Coaches or Umpires are not linked to a team correctly so will be blank.

Please double check those names "unassigned to a team" at the bottom of the document, the player/member maybe listed there instead of linked to a team.   Coaches are not allowed to let a player participate without this Form Completed.   If you or your child are on this list, this means you properly completed the Health Waiver and they are good to go for the season.

IDear GMBL League Coaches,

GMBL has been offered an amazing opportunity to share with you reduced cost CPR/AED training through Florian CPR, a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide low-cost CPR certification to Manassas area volunteers.  The organization was founded this July when our own GMBL Senior Babe Ruth League Member, Steven Smith, was saved by teammate, Paul Dow, after a freak accident during baseball practice as the team prepared for their Southeast Regional appearance.  Their story made Local, State, National and International news.   If you have not heard about the miracle, you can find the story link below as published by Babe Ruth Headquarters and local Inside NOVA:
