There is some good news for you in all this craziness. We are planning to move ahead with SALT for the 2020-2021 school year!
We have made the decision to shorten the reading lists by 25% since we might not be back on our campuses full time until at least November. We have been working to shorten the reading list and we will have that posted for you soon.
We will be extending grace on timelines to register your schools since getting your teams up and running might take some extra time.
We aren’t sure exactly what the tournament will look like on April 30th, 2021, but we are committed to making something happen if possible. It might even be a virtual tournament, but we will see what the guidelines look like closer to the spring before we make any major decisions.
Please contact us with any questions you might have. We are here to help figure out how to facilitate this and keep the momentum rolling for our kids!
