Stuck at Home? Try These Activities to Pass the Time
Like the rest of the nation, we are saddened and disappointed that current events have lead to the suspension or cancellation of so many sports seasons. But in times of uncertainty, such as this one, it is important to take every precaution to ensure the health and safety of everyone in our community.
You may be experiencing a pause or delay in your season, and you may even be stuck at home. But just because you can’t take the field doesn’t mean you can’t do your best to take advantage of the situation. Maybe there is a new hobby you can pick up. Or maybe now is a good time to plan some family activities. Or you can even train yourself at home to stay at the top of your game once your season resumes.
The possibilities are seemingly endless. Don’t be distraught over the current state of things, but also don’t let this opportunity pass you by to try something new. Here are four things athletes and sports families can do while waiting for their seasons to resume.
