We are Alberta July 30th Update
NEW THIS WEEK!
ABA RETURN APPROVED PROGRAM
Greetings from the Staff at ABA!
We all hope you are doing well. This is certainly a different summer than any we have ever seen before and the challenge that COVID-19 presents us is ongoing.
ABA has been actively looking at how we can best keep the basketball community informed with guidance from our Provincial Government, Insurance Company and Canada Basketball to present considerations and guidelines to slowly and safely get back to playing basketball. Much continues to happen and future insights are surely expected to be forthcoming.
With registration for the 2020-2021 Season of Play about to start, ABA has been continuing our communication with the above mentioned groups as well as many others to determine what best practices are needed as we move forward.
One common step we have seen taken by other PSO’s is clubs, organizations and cohorts submitting their safety protocols to ensure a safe return in the fall. ABA has implemented this step along with others to assure all involved that a thoughtful plan is in place as a commitment to sport safety. A series of video meetings are being organized to offer further clarification on the best practices and protocols.
The information in the following e-blast will give you a brief description of what protocols to follow and for more details follow the links provided. Please feel free to call or email us with any questions.
ABA wants to thank all for understanding the challenges we are all facing and taking extra care to provide a safe 'Return to Play' foundation as we move forward together. Remember, We Are Alberta!
Thank you.
Paul J. Sir
Executive Director
