During the Governor’s November 19 news briefing he announced that effective November 23, 2020 all youth sports would be mandated to cease activities until no earlier than January 19, 2021. As such all of our in-person indoor activities are postponed until further notice. With that said the benefits or recreational and leisure activities are boundless and their importance from a social, emotional and educational perspective cannot be overstated. As such our department will be expanding on our virtual offerings and we will continue to keep all stakeholders appraised on developments for the eventual return to activities. For all updates on upcoming programs including our popular youth basketball program please continue to monitor our Facebook Page and Website for further information.
Registration begins Friday, January 22 through Monday, February 1, 2021 with modifications outlined here.
