As of this morning (Friday, November 13th) Governor Scott and the VT administration have released guidelines stating that “recreational sports will be put on hold, apart from those sanctioned by the Vermont Principals Association.”
In addition, non-sport guidance also applies to many of our activities: “Multi-household gatherings – indoor or outdoor, in public or private spaces – are prohibited.”
As such, all MNC programming is suspended indefinitely. This means Juniors, BKL, and Masters, as well as our Thanksgiving Camp.
As we prepare more for these changes expect upcoming information on virtual training, virtual challenges, places to share your activities, and ways to connect up with fellow teammates and club members outside of the normal structure.
We know that many members have already registered and paid for winter programs. We would prefer to not issue refunds or future credits at this time, as it is unknown when and if we will be able to start activities.
Assuming there is a resumption of programming, for example in January, then we would look at providing partial refunds or credits based on the amount of the season that was lost. In any case, if a member would like a full refund at this time, we will work to accommodate you.
We are incredibly saddened to move forward with suspending our programming, but at the same time we’re incredibly proud of Vermont and the steps our state has taken to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. Vermont has consistently led the country in terms of low case counts, low positivity rate, and effective and widespread testing. As cases continue to rise around the country, we’re hopeful that Vermont’s efforts will lead to a healthier, faster, and safer recovery from this virus.
Please join us in respecting state guidelines, staying safe and conscientious in public, and caring for one another. We will get through this!
