Jan. 13th Update:
KIDSPORTS Families,
We hope you are starting off the new year well and staying safe and healthy.
The latest news from the State of Oregon and the Oregon Health Authority continues to create challenges for us all and your flexibility, patience, and understanding is greatly appreciated as we attempt to keep you apprised of the continual changes and updates.
Given the Oregon Health Authority restrictions we are unable to complete the remainder of the current volleyball season and basketball clinics. Thus, we will now issue account credits based on the amount of the season/sessions completed.
We are incredibly disappointed not to be able to resume indoor play in January, however, we are still intent on having a volleyball season and basketball activities once we are allowed. The new dates for the program may be outside of the traditional season, however, these are opportunities that we want to continue to offer. Please see below the latest information with regards to next steps and other current KS programming.
RISK CATEGORY UPDATE –
Here is where we are and where we are going as we respond to the challenges created by the State of Oregon and Oregon Health Authority guidelines:
- The State of Oregon announced yesterday, Jan. 12th, the updates to the county risk levels: https://www.oregon.gov/newsroom/Pages/NewsDetail.aspx?newsid=54019
- As of today, Lane County is still in the ‘Extreme Risk’ category: https://sharedsystems.dhsoha.state.or.us/DHSForms/Served/le3461.pdf
- As such, indoor sport activities are prohibited by the State of Oregon’s and OHA’s guidelines and thus the indoor season is “frozen” until at least Jan. 29th.
- Around Jan. 26th, the Oregon Health Authority data will be re-evaluated to determine Lane County’s risk category designation for the following two weeks.
ACCOUNT CREDITS –
Each registrant will receive an account credit equal to the funds remaining given the amount of the volleyball season and basketball sessions completed and the operations/uniforms expenses incurred. For some of you that will mean a full credit if your basketball sessions hadn’t started before the freeze.
We will work to update your Dash account with your family credit over the next several days.
As soon as allowable, we plan to start fresh with a new basketball activity registration opportunity.
CURRENT JANUARY OUTDOOR PROGRAMMING –
In the meantime, given that limited outdoor activities are allowed even in the Extreme Risk Category, KIDSPORTS is still offering a variety of outdoor activity opportunities in the month of January. Click Here for more info.
Again, thank you for your flexibility and patience during these uncertain times,
KIDSPORTS Team
