COVID-19 Coronavirus Public Health Concern

March 14, 2020 by Coach Kosta Leave a Comment

Due to the ongoing concern regarding COVID-19 Coronavirus, there will be no participation in tournaments until further notice.

Ares Basketball is following California’s recommendation of not attending events that hosts 250 people or more. On game days, tournaments can easily have 250 players and spectators come through.

Please be aware that information is rapidly changing and will update you all as it becomes available.
