SEQUOIA

Sequoia NJB placed three Boys Divisional All-Star Teams (4th grade, 6th grade and 8th grade) in the National All-Star Tournament held in Orange County on March 22-24 2019.  This was the first time in the chapter's history that we placed teams at each of the three eligible grade levels (which requires a first or second place finish in the Silicon Valley Sectional All-Star tournament).  All of the teams competed hard and represented Sequoia well.  Congratulations to our 8th grade team which won the National Tournament for only the second time in the chapter's history.  Great job boys!

Sequoia NJB Families,

Our Sequoia NJB Chapter has been collaborating with the Silicon Valley NJB and partner chapters the past several months. We have been monitoring updates from the state, counties, cities and schools on a regular basis. We have gauged demand from our families to hold a season if it were deemed safe to do so and facilities were available. We have also been touching base regularly with our gym providers (primarily local middle and high schools). Throughout all of our discussions, the health and safety of the kids has been our priority.

With the recent regression in COVID-19 cases in many counties, the potential start date for a season has become increasingly unknown. Therefore, we are completely aligned with Silicon Valley NJB in arriving at the difficult decision to cancel the 2020-21 NJB season. This has not been an easy decision and while we did consider the continued postponement, the uncertainties of health guidelines, facility, volunteer & referee availability made it unrealistic to plan for a meaningful season.

On behalf of the entire Sequoia NJB organization, we appreciate your continued support and understanding as we navigate these unprecedented times together. We will be in touch over the next few months and we look forward to return for a full 2021-2022 season. We are also looking for a few new members to join our board and for volunteers who would be interested in coaching the boys and girls teams next season.

If you have any questions please reach out to me directly.

Best,

Josh Goines
