We have continued to monitor directives and information from both government authorities and municipal agencies regarding the escalating COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease) outbreak.
With the recent confirmations of cases here on Long Island, and with the health and well-being of all participants; membership, clinicians, exhibitors, guests, League volunteers and staff, our Board of Directors has made the decision to cancel this weekend’s Long Island Junior Soccer League annual convention in its entirety.
This includes the Hall of Fame and Volunteer Awards Dinner on Friday evening.
This is the first such time that the event has been cancelled in its 38 years.
We will now begin the process of communicating with all aspects of our membership scheduled to attend coaches meetings, sportsmanship presentations, etc.
Please give us some time to respond to some of the questions that this decision will surely initiate.
Thank you again for your understanding in what was a difficult but proactive, correct decision.
Should you have any specific concerns, please feel free to contact me.
Yours in soccer,
Steve Padaetz
Managing Director/LIJSL
