COVID 19 Sports Updates

Dear Niles North Families, 

We want to thank all of our coaches and student athletes for participating in last week’s sports conditioning workouts held at Niles West. Given the logistical challenges and warmer than normal weather conditions, our teams were able to accomplish a lot in a very short period of time.  We also appreciate everyone following our safety guidelines throughout the camp and would like to remind everyone that if you son/daughter is experiencing any symptoms, please notify our Athletic Department.

That being said, the IHSA in conjunction with the IDPH has communicated several new guidelines that will impact our progression to Phase 4 Summer Camps. As a result of these changes, we put a pause on in-person conditioning camps for this week (7/13 - 7/17).  Your student athlete’s coaches will reach out to them to conduct live zoom workouts or remote workouts.  Our hope is to begin Summer Camps on Monday, July 20th.

In the meantime, we will be speaking with coaches, student athletes, and parents to gauge their feedback on our Stage 1 workouts, to determine interest in Summer Camps given the new guidelines, and to voice any health and safety concerns regarding the next steps.  We will then make a determination whether the conditioning and/or summer sports camps will continue, based on the health and safety interests of our student athletes and coaches.  To help with our planning, please fill out this SURVEY.  Additionally, we will host two Webinars this Wednesday, July 15th to help answer any questions about Summer Camps.  The first webinar will be Wednesday at 10:00 AM and the second webinar will be at 7:00 PM.  To join the Webinar, please click HERE for links and numbers. 

Best,
