Season Information
Our Spring Season will resume play on May 31, 2020!
After another three weeks, it appears our lives are still adjusting to these “stay-at-home” orders issued by state governors and elected officials across the nation and globe. With all the unknowns surrounding COVID-19, there are increased levels of stress, burdens, chaos, and emotions. As families, friends, and communities, it is essential that we keep communicating and displaying hope.
We are all frustrated, angry, scared, and disappointed in our spring pertaining to academics, school activities, family events, and sports. We are all fighting the same culprit: COVID-19.
Our spring season is sadly postponed until Sunday, May 31, 2020, when most schools in Tennessee would typically end. Governor Lee issued two Executive Orders (22 & 23) to stay at home until midnight on April 13. The health and safety of our flag football community is vital, and we will not compromise this for any reason. Therefore, we are postponing the season until the “stay-at-home” order is lifted by governments (both at state and national levels), and it is safe to play, build relationships, learn life skills, and establish a sense of normalcy again.
Unless the Governor amends or rescinds the current executive order, here is the schedule:
· Week One: May 31
· Week Two: June 7
· Week Three: June 14
· Week Four: June 21
· Week Five: June 28
**There will be one week with a doubleheader so all six games can be scheduled
We realize these are not the dates you signed up for, but none of us anticipated COVID-19 and its deadly wrath and destructive path. As we know it this year, all events and activities are shifting and adjusting; these are changing lives as we know it and even what we don’t know yet. Therefore, we want to give our young athletes hope to a great flag football season, even though things may be slightly different.
We together encompass safety, love for the game, desire to make friends, and instill life lessons. We can do this! So, let’s plan for the future, hope for the best, and get through these tough times in the moment!
See you on the field, and in the meantime, enjoy the jerseys and flag belts. If your young athlete has not received them yet, your coaches are making arrangements to pass them out. If you don't hear from your coach in the next week, please contact our office.
