Basketball and Volleyball are now temporarily paused at Sollazzo Center due to construction; Soccer will continue at Purchase Elementary School.

 

Hello Sports Gals,

The good news is that the Town of Harrison is building an impressive new recreation facility where the Sollazzo Center is located and the new facility is scheduled for completion sometime (hopefully) in 2025. The not so good news is that ladies basketball and volleyball are now temporarily paused at Sollazzo Center. We are in the process of evaluating alternate locations for both sports and we will keep you posted. Ladies soccer at Purchase Elementary School should be unaffected. Hope everyone has a great summer!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

I HOPE THIS NOTE FINDS ALL OF OUR SPORTS GALS NEAR AND FAR HEALTHY AND HAPPY!  SO SORRY WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO PLAY DUE TO THE PANDEMIC. WHILE I HAD HOPED TO GET GOING AGAIN THIS SPRING, WITH THE UPTICK IN COVID-19 CASES AND THE LEGAL IMPLICATIONS REGARDING CHECKING VACCINATION STATUS AND RISKS TO ANY UNVACCINATED PLAYERS, I THINK WE NEED TO WAIT UNTIL THE FALL TO OPEN UP SPORTS AGAIN.

SUCCESSION PLANNING NEW SPORTS MANAGERS: 

AS I MENTIONED LAST YEAR, I AM NOW RETIRED FROM MANAGING OUR SPORTS GALS ACTIVITIES.  HOWEVER, LADIES SPORTS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME AND LAST YEAR I INVITED FOLKS FROM EACH SPORT TO STEP UP TO MANAGE EACH OF THE SPORTS SO THAT OUR SPORTS GALS ACTIVITIES WILL CONTINUE.  OBVIOUSLY, THE PANDEMIC HAS SLOWED OUR ACTIVITIES, BUT THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR RESPONSE TO THE SUCCESSION PLAN SO FAR.  I WILL PROVIDE A WRITTEN ROADMAP FOR RUNNING EACH SPORT WELL IN ADVANCE OF THE FALL. BELOW ARE THE FOLKS WHO VOLUNTEERED TO HELP OUT WITH EACH SPORT AND I WILL ASSIST WITH THE TRANSITION THIS FALL AS NECESSARY.  PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY CHANGES AND ADDITIONS--WE WELCOME ANY OTHERS AMONG YOU WHO COULD HELP!
