Murphy Executive Order:
Scholastic, youth and adult recreational indoor sports games and practices will be able to resume Saturday (1/2/21), Gov. Phil Murphy announced Wednesday.
Murphy’s executive order on the suspension of all indoor sports activities for the scholastic, youth and adult recreational levels was due to expire Saturday. It went into effect Dec. 5.
''Given the safety protocols we have in place and the stability in our numbers (COVID reported cases) over the last month, although stability at an uncomfortably high level, we feel confident we can move forward by continuing to deal with any outbreaks or other issues on an individual case basis as opposed to a blanket prohibition,'' Murphy said.
Murphy said a cancellation of high school sports seasons would have been a strong possibility had he extended the suspension. The NJSIAA's 2020 spring sports season was canceled due to the pandemic.
"There is no need in the marketplace for an average club softball program. You are either getting better or getting worse. We have been doing this for over 10 years and understand the depth, scale and scope needed to be successful. Our history & past successes are things we are very proud of and are not by accident, but we certainly do not rest on them. We have worked really hard and continue to work even harder to get better and better every day as an organization. We are always trying to add more value to our experince and deliver "+1"! We say what we do and do what we say."
