LETTER FROM ARCH - CYO Winter Basketball Season Canceled. Dear CYO Community,
As CYO and other programming decisions continue to evolve in response to COVID19, and in accordance with New York State and CDC guidelines, we are writing to share that we have made the difficult decision to cancel the CYO winter basketball season. During the coming months we will continue to monitor and evaluate safe and responsible options in the hopes that basketball can resume for the Spring and/or Summer leagues. At this time, we are reserving any official position on Spring and Summer, but commit that we will keep you informed as decisions are made. We hope to have more details in January.
We understand the important role CYO athletics plays for children and families, and we too are disappointed to have to share this news. We remain committed to providing meaningful opportunities for our parish students to engage in athletic and non-athletic activities during these times of COVID and have seen tremendous interest and success in many alternative activities including track, chess, art, essay and photo. We plan to continue these engaging activities as we work towards longer term solutions for CYO programming.
We are grateful for your patience during this difficult time. On behalf of CYO, thank you your cooperation as we work together to further mitigate the risk of exposure to COVID-19 and protect the well-being of our children and those in our surrounding communities.
