Letter From Our Executive Director
Yesterday it was announced that several local school districts, including Glens Falls, are not going to allow high to moderate impact sports for at least the remainder of the winter. We know that this is disappointing. We feel for you and we wish more than anything that you could participate in all your regular activities and that this pandemic never happened; however, what was even more disheartening to us was the number of negative comments made by parents, kids and community members alike. Prior to the coronavirus, back when everything was “normal,” so many of you walked through our doors each day with endless complaints about practice and putting in the necessary work for your sports. Life has a funny way of showing us that we shouldn’t take anything for granted. It can change faster than we can catch our breath and then, without notice, stop on a dime. Perhaps you will be more grateful. Playing sports is a privilege.
