March 17, 2020

As all of you are aware of the recent events in Anchorage over the last 10 days concerning the potential spread of Covid-19 in Alaska and the measures mandated by the government: All activities and clinics that Far North has schedule in March are cancelled and those in April are highly tentative.

We have a League Continuity Plan under development to ensure we get on the fields as soon as possible once this crisis passes. Hopefully we will have clarity soon of the impact this will have and we can retool and plan accordingly.

Currently we should be able to start play sometime in May but there is a good chance evaluations will NOT be held in April but rather on the fields after the snow clears.

Please continue to register your child. If this has impacted you financially please contact me. We will not prevent your child from playing if you cannot pay. Also if you can afford to donate to the league please do so we can assist those who have been adversly affected during this crisis.

Please take care and be safe
