For the last year, the Board, Advisors, and League Coordinators have been closely monitoring the progression of COVID-19. Each season we hoped to open up registration, and each season we decided the risk was too high. But with infection rates on the decline and vaccinations widely available, that risk is finally manageable and the Board believes we can run Summer League safely with the right precautions and adjustments.

Listed below are the league adjustments, safety protocols, and response plan in place for this summer. Each decision we have made has taken into account CDC, USAU, DiscNY, SUNY Purchase, and NY State guidelines and requirements. We will continue to monitor infection rates and guidance from these entities throughout the summer, and will update our protocols accordingly. Though things may run a little differently than we’re all used to, we hope you'll be as thrilled as we are to get back on the field in the safest way possible.

We thank all our members for your cooperation and heightened vigilance this summer, and greatly appreciate everyone’s patience as we work through organizing a league in these unprecedented times.
