Season Update from Stamford Youngtimers Last March, we were very fortunate to be able to complete our season before the country shut down due to COVID-19. At the time, I was relieved because if we had planned on even one more week, we would have never been able to complete what we started. Since then, of course, the situation has only become murkier so I wanted to send a sort of status report on where we are for the 2020-21 season.
I want to start by saying that we are committed to doing what we can to play this winter. At the moment, it is unclear what school gyms will be available to us and frankly what protocol we’ll need to follow based on the impact on our area. However, we are continuing to work on learning everything we can so that we have a chance to proceed with a season.
With that said, we will not begin in October with evaluations and travel tryouts as we normally do. While I’m not sure when we will hold those, I’m pretty confident saying we will not be playing any games prior to the first of the year. Our goal is to use time to our advantage here and hopefully find ourselves in a better environment to play later in the winter.
We appreciate your patience as we wade through this difficult time. We understand sports are important to our kids daily experiences and we will do everything in our power to find a way here. If you have any questions, please let me know.
