As a result of the Covid-19 crisis, the difficult decision has been made to cancel the 2020 Fall soccer season. This decision was made based on current mass gathering restrictions and social distancing recommendations. The safety and well-being of our participants and volunteers remain a top priority and it was felt that this decision was in the best interest of all.
We have maintained an open line of communication with York County Parks and Recreation representatives as well as State and Regional Upward associations to monitor their decisions as well. As of now, York County has not officially cancelled the county season; however, several churches throughout Virginia have already made the difficult decision to cancel their seasons.
Our leadership team had worked hard to prepare for a fall season in hopes that we could share God’s love and the love of the game of soccer with you. Know that this decision is as disappointing for us as we know it will be for your families. As a result, we are already looking for the next possible opportunity to restart the program. Crossroads Community Church Upward Soccer hopes to offer a soccer camp or season in the spring, contingent on Covid-19 restrictions at that time. We will communicate details through e-mail and Facebook once a decision is made.
Thank you,
Upward Leadership Team
