COVID-19 Update March 12, 2020
Dear WHYLL Families,
It is clear that COVID-19 is significant enough that sports leagues and organizations at the national level have taken the difficult action of suspending their activities until the threat has passed. While the board had initially intended to follow the lead of West Hartford Public Schools, we have reconsidered, and will unfortunately suspend all activities in the league until the public health crisis has passed. The situation is obviously very fluid, and we will reevaluate our decision when appropriate.
The safety of your children and the welfare of their families is our highest priority. It saddens me that we’ve had to make this decision, but we all think this is in the best interest of the community.
I’m certain there will be questions about refunds. If it becomes evident in the next couple of weeks that the board needs to cancel the season entirely, we will convene to discuss how much we can return after we cover any of our costs for clinics, tournaments, etc.
Please stay healthy and stay tuned.
All the best,
Sam Smith
WHYLL President
