Good evening everyone,

I hope this email finds you and your family doing well.  While we are very anxious to get back out on the field, we want to make sure that we are doing it in a smart, safe and effective way.  As most of you know, Governor Cooper announced that on Friday May 8, NC will enter Phase 1 in an attempt to return to our normal life.  This Phase focuses on several areas that can start back functioning on a limited basis.  While we all were hoping that this would allow us to begin practices, it’s clear that we are still in a holding pattern.

At this time, SW Athletics is going to hold the start of practices until, at minimum, Phase 2 is announced and we understand all of the parameters that are included.  SW is very much planning to offer our season but we will only do that in a safe environment.

We are continuing to listen and follow the guidelines laid out by the Governor during this very difficult time in our history.  During this time, we wish you the very best and we hope that everyone in your family is staying safe and healthy.  We will all return to the field stronger, wiser and hopefully more appreciative of all the great things that we have to be thankful for. 

Please share this message with your parents and I will be back to you once Phase 2 is announced.

Thanks and have a great day.

Barry Leonard
