With COVID Concerns, Abington Youth Recreation Basketball Announces Cancellation of 2020/2021 Season
To ensure the safety and health of our youth and supporting community, The Abington Youth Basketball executive board members voted unanimously to cancel its upcoming winter 2020/2021 season. A basketball season that normally would begin in late November/early December will now take the year off given the ongoing COVID pandemic. As a youth organization, cancelling the season is the right thing to do. With over 500 youth players in the program and the inability to have proper space in our gyms and the sport, the risks are too high. We all want the kids to play but placing health and safety first made our decision an easy one. We also felt that, an early notification to our community was best. Our girls and boys travel programs will take direction from the South Shore League. AYB will work with the town health officials and schools in early 2021 to determine if a shortened season or skills nights are possible. Further questions can be answered through the league’s site as well.
