[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NVSL team reps and division coordinators are receiving an email if they haven’t already today.[/quote]

And that email says.....?[/quote]

The main part:

Happy 2021 to our NVSL teams, families and sponsors. Many of you have reached out to us over the past several weeks to ask about the status of the upcoming season. We are moving forward with plans for a season. The board is meeting regularly, the seeding committee is hard at work, and we will welcome our team reps to the annual seeding meeting on March 14th.

This is a fluid situation and we are closely monitoring the state and local health guidelines that govern youth sports. These guidelines will help us determine the type of season we are able to have. Our newly formed Return to Competition committee, which is made up of team reps, coaches, division coordinators and board members, will meet regularly throughout the spring to determine how we can hold meets safely this summer. We ask for your patience while we work on the details. We will share more information about the season in the weeks ahead and as guidelines change and decisions are made.

This is promising!!!

I really hope the VDH doesn’t come out with some crazy guidelines again or someone is willing to be more specific about outdoor pool use. [/quote]

Yes, let’s hope. It was crazy that the VDH lumped indoor and outdoor pools under the same rules last spring/summer. They really wrote the guidance for places like gyms and rec centers. Through phase 2 even family members were supposed to maintain at least 10’ in the water and pool use was restricted to guided instruction or exercise. [/quote]

Those VDH phase 3 guidelines are still in effect.  If you want to see a change, don't count on VDH doing the right thing- write to your state delegate.  Keep up the pressure.[/quote]

While I agree that thoughtful advocacy is indeed important, I also feel we're in a vastly different place now than last spring/summer on all accounts for COVID and VDH has a lot more (valid) data and information to use in their guidance.

I'm personally very very hopeful for a swim season this summer as VA public HS sports are ongoing now and without any major issues to my knowledge. Basketball and wrestling just ended, swim might be finalizing too (I don't track HS swim) and football games in the NoVA area start tomorrow 2/22.  Every indication and trend would indicate a much more viable path for a swim season. [/quote]

HS swim has wrapped up and it went well. I don't know of any issues.[/quote]
