Good Morning,
I am excited to share that on February 1, we will be returning to Phase 1 of our Return to Play Plan. This will allow delegations to hold practices in groups of 10 or fewer individuals.
The Return to Play Plan is the three-phase scheme that will guide our gradual return to training and competitions. The plan adheres to both the Iowa Department of Health and Special Olympics guidelines and is meant to serve as minimum guidelines for the Special Olympics Iowa delegations as they consider returning to training and activities. All Return to Play resources and guidance materials can be viewed here.
As we begin the gradual return to in-person training and competitions, I do want to remind everyone that this process is not linear. If there is an increase in coronavirus (COVID-19) cases in Iowa, we could revert to an earlier phase. Special Olympics Iowa continues to make the health and safety of all members of the Special Olympics Iowa community the top priority.
Thank you for your patience and support as we navigate this constantly changing pandemic.
Sincerely,
John Kliegl
President & CEO
Special Olympics Iowa
