Update from CYC on the 2021 Basketball Season
In the last several months, we have become accustomed to an
ever changing youth sports environment.
Covid cases have gone up and down in all 5 of our CYC Districts. Guidelines and restrictions have changed at
the drop of a hat. It has been very frustrating
for everyone.
We were blessed to have been able to play the majority of
our fall sports season, even though it was delayed by almost a month. While many of our kids enjoyed the season,
some athletes, for many reasons, were not given the chance to play.
Like the fall sports season, it will be necessary to delay
the start of our CYC basketball season.
There are several reasons for this decision:
-
The high rate of positive Covid cases in our
region.
-
If we were to play now, there would be restrictions
of mask wearing during competition and no spectators.
-
The likelihood of these issues extending into
the beginning of 2021.
We know there are differing attitudes and opinions about all
of this. Our main objective is to
provide our CYC athletes with a safe place to play and have fun. We do not feel that is possible at this time.
Our hope is for our CYC basketball season to happen. Like our fall sports, the start will be
delayed. Here is our current plan for
the season:
-
No CYC basketball practices or games until
January 11, 2021.
- CYC basketball practice may start January 11,
2021.
-
Games will begin January 22-24.

It is too early to make a decision about
playoffs, but if held will be after Easter in April.
As we know, our plans may change, in response to the Covid
status in our area. We have learned to
be flexible. We will do everything we
can to give our athletes an opportunity to play this season.
When we return to play, we will still have the same safety
guidelines we had for fall sports, with some additions. We will have gym monitors who will help us to
ensure our safety guidelines are followed and parent volunteers will be conducting
temperature checks before games. While most teams were great about following
the rules during fall sports, too many teams were not. That has to change.
All of you can help us to bring sports back for our kids by
following the basic health guidelines: especially during the Holidays. We will continue to pray for everyone in our
CYC family and for the many people who are adversely effected by the pandemic.
