You still have time to come and support NSSO at Sendik;s yet this season. Our remaining two dates are at the Sendik’s in Whitefish Bay. So come out and enjoy the food and say hello!
We regret to inform you that North Suburban (NSSO) will not be offering volleyball or bowling this fall.
While Special Olympics Wisconsin (SOWI) is planning to enter Phase 1 of their return to play, the guidelines do not allow a feasible fall season for our agency. We do believe that many of you have been expecting this news, so will not be totally surprised. With the high percentage of athletes (and coaches) that fit within various “high-risk” categories, this and other restrictions made our decision necessary. There are no other NSSO scheduled activities for the fall – no Packer Party, no banquet, no Healthy Steps. We hope to return to some activities as SOWI goes thru the Phases of the return to play. SOWI may allow some counties to change Phases (allowing more people) quicker than others, depending on the COVID-19 threat, but we believe that all of you will agree that the greater Milwaukee area is not at a positive level. We also believe that because of individual health risks as well as the overall COVID-19 risks, some athletes and coaches have already planned on not returning to sports until conditions improve, and we support these decisions.
SOWI is offering no competitions for either sport this fall.
Volleyball is not being offered as a “team” sport, but only with SOWI, etc., developed skills.
Both sports would have a limit of 8 athletes at any given practice (10 people total, which is 8 athletes, 2 required coaches, and NO spectators.) Athletes would have to be 6 feet apart and, for the most part, wear masks. No sharing of equipment, etc., and all items of equipment would have to be cleansed before someone else touched any item. To have a second group of 10 people, this second group would have to be 50 meters (approx 160feet) away from the first group. We felt that these choices would not fit NSSO at this time (since we have around 40 volleyball players and over 50 bowlers). It is also uncertain at this time if the Milwaukee Safety Academy will be available for outside groups, so we would have no practice site.
Before any athlete or coach will be allowed to return to “active duty” – a COVID-19 Participant Release form will have to be signed. This form will be distributed later and can be done at any time to be prepared for a return.

Come and enjoy some great food at the Sendik’s in Whitefish Bay on Saturday September, 5th 11am – 4pm. This event is a great fundraiser for NSSO.

Ken Kuemmerlein passed away with COVID-19 on Sunday, July 19, 2020.
As noted in the obituary a private Celebration of Kenneth’s Life will be held on Friday, July 31, 2020, at the Mueller Funeral Home (W63 N527 Hanover Ave.), in Cedarburg. A private visitation will be held prior the service. A memorial to celebrate his life will be held at Steny’s Tavern when the Covid-19 is under control. In lieu of flowers, donations to Special Olympics would be appreciated.
Ken started coaching volleyball and basketball with NSSO in 2009. Several years later, he went to West Allis Special Olympics for basketball but stayed with NSSO for volleyball. In the mid 2010’s Ken added softball to his coaching with NSSO.
Last year, Ken and his partner Ryan Knodl took home the bronze medal in golf at the World Games, in Abu Dhabi.
All of us involved with NSSO, coaches, volunteers, athletes and families will all greatly miss Ken.
