Good Afternoon, We are officially able to start our Phase A conditioning practices. Thank you for all the players that have taken the survey and expressed interest in participating in the conditioning practices. If you are still interested in participating, please complete the survey so we can add you to a group. We have very strict protocols in order to make this phase successful and part of that is having the groups assigned ahead of time. We are asking that the survey is completed by this Saturday so we can share the list with the athletic department. These conditioning practices are optional and do not determine your position within the team. We will continue doing the workout exercises that are listed on the workout calendar. We will be sending an additional email to the players that have signed up for these sessions. The email will include the groups that you are placed in and also the procedures that we will be following to make these sessions successful. We will start this Monday, June 29. First session is from 7:30- 8:45. If we need an additional session because of higher interests of players participating, we will have it from 9-10:15.

Good afternoon. We hope everyone is doing well and excited that we can officially start our summer. We are excited to share that Yorktown athletics will be entering Phase A within the next few weeks. Phase A is listed more in detail below. There is still uncertainty about our start date and what our season will look like, but we can look forward to Phase A. It brings us one step closer to playing. Phase A will also prepare our players and coaches to new protocols that will be in place, like temp checks and social distancing. Here is the latest update: Start date still stands August 3rd, but it is still very unlikely. We are putting that date out there because we want all players and family to have a date in mind as a return to sport. Once we get the ok to start playing, we want everyone to be prepared and not miss out on the opportunity to participate in tryouts. What seems more likely is start after Labor Day. With restrictions, coaches can start organizing conditioning practices with players. Yorktown is calling this phase, Phase A. Coaches that are interested in this opportunity to work with players during this phase will be participating in virtual trainings and the hope is to start implementation of this phase as early as Monday, June 29.What this Phase will look like:Conditioning Only, No equipment usedNo physical requiredAs of now, only 9-12th graders are allowed to participate. If there is available space, we will open it up to 8th graders.
