The program will look different than it did last year:

• Players will be split into teams and cohorts by the Coaches-  

• NO TEAMMATE REQUESTS CAN BE HONORED, OTHER THAN SIBLINGS

• The season begin Saturday 1/23/2021

• All games will be at the Variety Club Gym in Worcester

• We have the gym from 2-6 PM on Saturday afternoons

• Each team will play one 50 minute game per week, hopefully for 7 weeks 

• There will not be any makeup weeks if we have to cancel for weather

• We will form teams based on a combination of age, size, and ability

• Currently, we are targeting 7 players per team

• UNDER CURRENT GUIDELINES, MASKS WILL BE REQUIRED FOR ALL PLAYERS AND COACHES AT ALL TIMES.  THIS IS A DIFFICULT RULE; BUT WE WILL HAVE TO FOLLOW IT

• Each team will have one assigned coach

• No parents will be permitted in the gym.   We are working on streaming the game so you can watch on your phone

• Parents will drop off kids, and will be asked to wait in their cars while the kids play

• For the first few weeks, we will form cohorts of 2 teams, which will play each other while we balance the teams

• If we are able to keep the program COVID free, and community spread is under control, we will start rotating teams of similar age and ability in a round robin, probably at week 3  or week 4

• If COVID rates continues to climb, then we will probably keep the kids in the original cohorts, to minimize the possibility of spread

• If we receive guidance or direction from any health or government agency to stop play, we will have to cancel the program, similarly, If there is any spread between players related to the program, we will also cancel the program

•  Our safety plans worked really well for the Fall Season, and we are confident that we can do this safely.  Hope to see you at the Variety Club!

•  PS!! We’ll be opening Spring registration in another week or so.....
