Varsity Level Sports to “Return to Play”
Aloha Damien Ohana,
I hope this message finds you and your Ohana doing well during this very unusual school year. I know that many of you and your children are getting very anxious to hear any news about athletics at Damien. Please see important information below concerning our plans for the 2020-21 school year.
The Damien Athletic department has been working hard to get our return to play and return to campus plans ready for our student-athletes and coaches. We are meeting with all our coaching staff this week to help them to prepare for the return. It is our number one priority to keep our student-athletes, coaches and their families safe a during this time so we are going to be slowly phasing into our return to play plan.
Due to the Coronavirus pandemic and needing to keep everyone as safe as possible, we have decided at this time, to only allow for varsity level sports to return to play. We will re-evaluate the situation as we move forward and make changes as needed to possibly include lower level sports.
Only Varsity sports will be allowed to return to play under our strict RTP/RTC Plans. If you want to find out more information or sign up for a specific sport, please reach out to the individual sport coaches. Any other questions or concerns can be directed to klaneski@damien.edu or slkong@damien.edu. Below you can see what season each sport is scheduled to be played in and their projected start dates.
Our Damien Athletics “Return To Play” plan will be posted to our athletics page once it has been finalized.
For more information on a specific sport and how to sign-up, please contact the coaches listed below.
