| Good evening,
We hope this email finds you well. We understand your concern in light of the Coronavirus outbreak and want you to know that AYSO is assessing the situation in its entirety to determine the best-informed course of action for our players, volunteers and families.
This is a dynamic and fluid situation and appreciate your patience and understanding. The safety and well-being of our membership is of the highest priority, so in light of the California Department of Public Health's recommendation that gatherings of 250 or more be postponed or cancelled, AYSO has taking the following actions regarding upcoming events and is providing the following recommendations for your local events. We have cancelled the Western States Games and the Section 1/10/11 EXPO and are evaluating other AYSO run events as information unfolds.
We recommend that if you have tournaments or large special events scheduled, you consider postponing them to April or May respectively.
We understand that this creates a bit of uncertainty but please let your families know that we are monitoring the situation daily and will have a recommended action plan for your programs in short order.
In regards to the outbreak, we encourage you to follow the preventive measures recommended by the CDC to help stem the spread, which can be found here: https://www.aysovolunteers.org/coronavirus-update-and-prevention-tips/. We also recommend that you stay in contact with your local school districts as well as you local and state departments of Public Health. Our goal is to provide all members with timely and relevant information on Coronavirus. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out. Thank you, The AYSO Office |
