Over the last several weeks the Cohoes Rec Youth Soccer Board has been
reviewing guidance from various entities including; the CDYSL, Cohoes
School District Athletic Department and administrators of the City on
whether to conduct the annual 2020 Rec Soccer Season. The Board voted
this evening to cancel the Fall Rec soccer season due to the ongoing
COVID-19 pandemic.
While it is extremely disappointing, we have
our eyes set on the future. With the way the sport is played, members
expressed concern with being able to properly implement social
distancing measures during the season.
Board members also expressed
concern with the possibility of playing soccer during both flu season
and the on-going pandemic. Additionally, members indicated that it would
be very difficult to adequately enforce restrictions among both
participants and parents.
On behalf of the staff, coaches and
volunteers that are so generous with their time, we thank you for
continuing to train, study and develop your skills. Your hard work and
patience during these extraordinary times will help set your course for
success and help us make soccer the preeminent sport in the City of
Cohoes.
We appreciate your support and look forward to getting out on the fields in 2021.
We are Cohoes Rec Soccer!
