Good Evening AYSO Soccer Parents, Coaches, Referees, and Board Members,
I hope this email finds everyone safe, well, and healthy. The coronavirus pandemic has affected everyone in the Country, the State of Michigan and the Downriver Community and restricted our social interaction. The Governor has implemented a Phase-in approach regarding reopening different businesses and schools in our community. Some businesses have reopened but too many are still closed.
The stay at home order was lifted May 15, But we are still struggling with the virus and our numbers are increasing, not decreasing. Our Board has looked for information and guidance from AYSO, Health Professionals, US Soccer, and School officials to name a few, but, no one could convince us that everyone participating would be SAFE,
Our soccer program, is based on these 3 words; SAFE, FAIR and FUN. We cannot guarantee that our program would be safe amidst the current pandemic. So,as a result we are cancelling all activities until February 1, 2021. So our Fall 20 season has been CANCELLED.
Full refunds will be an issued, including those who used the AYSO voucher.:
I will email all of you again with the our program information for the Spring, 2021.. I apologize for not being able to get a Fall 2020 Season under way. We were really looking forward to watching everyone play. The Board of Directors and I felt that the gamble with your child's health was just to big of an obstacle to overcome.
I do hope that a majority of you will use the refund and register for our Spring21 season.
Thank-you for understanding our position. and taking the time to read this note.
John Reeber
Commissioner
