Limitations to spectators; flag football, indoor soccer tourney cancelled for March 15

In response to COVID-19 and the current order on mass gatherings we have made the following decisions at this time:

1) Regular season games for indoor soccer and flag football scheduled for Saturday will still be played. We ask that spectators are limited to 1 per athlete. We know this isn't ideal but it's the only way to stay under the mass gatherings guidelines while still allowing the athletes to play.
