As the country braces for what might be the most devastating week of the COVID-19 crisis so far, we have seen incredible work from athletes and sports organizations around the country. People are chipping in by performing services and helping our medical community. We encourage you to continue to practice the requested social distancing.
Working together we can all get past this horrific era. While none of us can predict how long this will continue, we hope you will keep helping others and sending your thoughts, prayers and strength to everyone fighting on the front lines and to those who are hospitalized and fighting for their lives.
We encourage you to join our Webinars each week. We hope this forum will create a supportive environment for everyone in our Network and beyond.
Listening to our audience, we have launched several initiatives that we believe will be helpful and will provide content and training to our Members.
Check out our resource page which has lessons, tips, ideas and links to organizations that are offering free resources and free consultations to help through this difficult time. We hope you take advantage of these resources!
