Youth and Adult Sports Programs
Contact Sports are still not permitted under California's current reopening phase
The District has received a lot of questions about the status of our very popular Youth and Adult Sports Programs and whether they are returning in the Fall. We are happy to hear that so many of you are ready to come back and play with us!
We, too, are hopeful that our sports programs and leagues will make a return with new and updated safety rules and protocols soon. Howeve
r, at this time, it is difficult for us to forecast when that might be. Contact sports leagues and competing in athletic games are still not permitted in the current reopening phase that El Dorado County has been designated. The El Dorado Hills Community Services District Staff are in close contact with the El Dorado County Officials to stay updated with any new information. We will inform you all as soon as it is safe to return to play. Thank you!
