Updates to Out of State Travel

Ben Pearthree

Our coaching staff has been very impressed with the unity, sportsmanship, and decency shown by our athletes and parents. We know the last few months have been stressful and confusing for many of you. We want to thank you for your grace and support. Given the current environment, we would like to share that we are implementing an internal club policy regarding the selection of our competition venues and hosts. Moving forward, we will not attend competitions or venues where the coaching staff feels our team will be potentially unsafe, unwanted, or treated differently. At this time, we do not plan to attend any further competitions in Indiana. Furthermore, all other out of state competitions will be discussed with athletes, families, and the coaching staff before a determination is made. 

Our athletes competing in Florida this spring will not be removed from the competition and it is still our intention to participate in these national level competitions. Following the conclusion of those meets, we will begin to explore appropriate alternatives outside of Florida.

Thank you, 
The Coaching Staff
