To all TAA Coaches, Members and Families,

 It is with an abundance of caution and concern for the health and safety of our Tabernacle community that the Tabernacle Athletic Association (TAA) announces the cancellation of the 2020 spring sports season.  This affects our TAA softball, baseball, track and field, and spring soccer programs. With the extension of the federal stay-at-home guidelines to April 30th along with the spring season cancellations by our neighboring youth sports associations, the TAA Board recognizes the unfortunate need to cancel all TAA spring sports and activities in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.  As a result of this decision, please know that TAA will issue refunds to all families that registered participants in the above-mentioned programs.  TAA will also refund the 2020 spring program sponsors.

 We have contacted Sports Connect about the refund process and are awaiting their response. Ideally, their system will allow us to enact a bulk refund process to reimburse all families that registered for TAA spring sports.  However, if this is not the case, TAA will need to process individual refunds to several hundred families, which understandably, will involve a significant amount of work and extra time.  If this is the case, we will work to issue refunds as quickly as possible and we ask for your patience and understanding in this process.

 Please know TAA will release a follow-up email regarding the status of the refunds as soon as we learn more from Sports Connect. For now, we will remain hopeful that we will see the end of this terrible pandemic soon and we will all look forward to being able to get together as families, friends and team mates to celebrate the better times ahead of us all.

Please stay safe, strong and healthy!

Lynne Hedden, TAA President
