“The archer athletic association (aaa) continued to be an important part of our community by providing opportunities for our youth to participate in recreational team sports. These programs encouraged and promoted health and wellness for these youth by keeping them physically active while supporting good sportsmanship and teamwork in a safe and fun atmosphere. We provided for 1828 participants in various sports. The spring sports season brought a particular challenge to our youth sports programs with the spread of the covid 19 pandemic. Aaa worked closely with our county and state-level health agencies to protect the health and safety of the children and families in our community. ___________________________________________________________________ aaa became a model for other youth sports associations in our county by acting decisively and in coordination with our school system and parks and recreation administration. Participants in our spring sports programs received prorated refunds for their participation fees due to these sports being shut down due to covid mitigation procedures. Aaa then worked closely with our county and state health agencies to develop and implement a plan for our youth to safely return to play. Despite justifiable concerns from some parents, aaa was able to successfully and safely reopen for the fall sports season providing football, soccer, baseball, softball, and cheerleading programs in the fall. Aaa was again cited by our county parks and recreation administration as being a model for the development and implementation of our safety and covid return to play procedures. While the number of participants was understandably lower than what we would typically have because of continued anxiety about the spread of covid, the early indicators for our 2021 seasons has us feeling optimistic that participation will soon return to pre-covid numbers and are projected to continue increasing. ___________________________________________________________________________ _”
