Winter Sports Update – Thursday, January 13, 2022

Based on SOWI COVID protocols and supplied information, the entire Region 8 (and all of the state) have COVID numbers higher than acceptable for Special Olympics practices or activities.

Therefore, there will be NO practices (team basketball, basketball skills, or snowshoeing) for at least another week.  The earliest possible date would be Monday, January 24th.  We will hopefully have updated information a week from today.

There is NO team basketball invitational the end of this month. We will pass on any information as soon as we have received it.

Please stay healthy and safe – for yourself and family and friends
