Winter Sports Update – Thursday, February 4, 2022

On February 4, 2022

In Basketball, New, Snowshoe, Swim, Tournaments

There will be no practices until further notice.

We are pleased that the COVID numbers are coming down across the state, but the county numbers are not yet within the range allowed for Special Olympics activities. So, probably as no surprise, there will be no practices until further notice. This would be no team basketball, no basketball skills and no snowshoeing (of course, we’d prefer snow for that anyway.)

Also at this time, we have to admit that we are uncertain whether we will be able to start swimming this month as we normally would. With COVID numbers still up and we are waiting to hear from Brown Deer school about what new guidelines they have put into place since this latest surge. There are also SOWI guidelines about crossing county boundaries with differing county COVID numbers. Sorry, but assume no swimming practices until we pass on the word that we are good – when we can, we should be back on Tuesday’s at Brown Deer High/Middle School.

Hope for the best – we hope to continue in this trend towards improvement.

In New, Special Event

Special Olympics Wisconsin (SOWI) provides year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, giving them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage and experience joy while participating in a sharing of gifts, skills and friendship with their families, Special Olympics athletes and the community.

We’d like to recognize Advisor Matthew Le Pine and thank him for his nomination of this wonderful organization. Matthew volunteers his time to coach those participating in basketball. North Suburban is looking to expand their list of volunteers. They are in need of head coaches and assistants willing to assist with their year – round sports and activities. Reach out to Matthew if you are interested in learning more about volunteering. The Wisconsin Real Estate Group

The COVID numbers are, thankfully, going down but, unfortunately are not yet at a level for SOWI to allow for practices, etc.

So there will be NO practices for at least one more week – no team basketball, no basketball skills, no snowshoeing. So earliest maybe Monday February 6th. Watch for another update next Thursday.

And, following the trend, there is NO team basketball competition on February 7^th as had been scheduled.

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

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 31st. 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.
