NO team basketball, skills or snow this year

I don’t believe this is unexpected news.

While COVID numbers have, thankfully, been decreasing substantially and quicker than originally expected – it was not soon enough to salvage Team Basketball, Basketball Skills, or Snowshoe racing (although snowshoe racing needs more snow and less COVID as well).

So we thank all who patiently waited for the hoped for weekly call about the sports – the waiting is over. 

There will be NO Team Basketball this year, no Snowshoe racing and no Basketball Skills.  We await the 2023 season.

There are still COVID protocols to follow – SOWI, facility and governmental – and these will affect the upcoming sports season.

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.
