Start of Winter Indoor Track Postponed
NEW YORK — The NYSPHSAA Section 2 Executive Committee is pushing the official start date for Indoor Track back to January 4, 2021.
Low/moderate risk sports will begin on December 14, and while Indoor Track is considered low-risk, questions and concerns have been raised regarding the ability to run the sport effectively, efficiently and in a safe manner.
Currently, Section 2 has no available facilities that can host an Indoor Track meet. In addition, the gathering size limitations would require the components of a meet to be divided up into multiple days and perhaps, multiple sites.
There are hopes that the delayed start will provide the additional time needed to allow for changes in facility acquisition or availability, additional planning and clarification regarding potential virtual or pared-down competitions.
High-risk sports are scheduled to begin on January 4, 2021, pending approval from The NYSDOH and NYSPHSAA. If they do not have approval to compete, that start date will be revisited.
If Winter sports need to be cancelled, it is likely there will not be additional opportunities made available, although this decision will be made at that time, should it become necessary.
Fall 2 sports are tentatively scheduled to run March 1 through April 30, and Spring sports tentatively scheduled to run from May 1 through June 30.
Ballston Spa’s Andrew Werner Receives Regional Honor
BALLSTON SPA —The Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association (ENYYSA) announces that the Girls Competitive Coach of the Year Andrew Werner has also selected by the East Region as their award winner.
Werner was nominated by Ballston Spa Soccer Club President Rob Smarz, as well as the parents of two of his players. The Girls-Under-12 team that Werner coaches plays in the Capital District Youth Soccer League (CDYSL).
“I’ve never seen a volunteer youth coach put in what Andrew puts in to his team. He lives and breathes his job as a detective with the New York State Troopers and does the same with his daughter’s soccer team, for all the right reasons,” wrote Smarz.
The Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association (ENYYSA) has approximately 100,000 youth soccer players––both boys and girls––and more than 25,000 volunteers. ENYYSA promotes and enhances the game of soccer for children and teenagers between the ages of 5 and 19 years old, and encourages the healthy development of youth players, coaches, referees and administrators. All levels of soccer are offered––from intramural, travel team and premier players, as well as Children with Special Needs. No child who wants to play soccer is turned away. ENYYSA is a proud member of the United States Soccer Federation and United States Youth Soccer Association. For more information, please log on to www.enysoccer.com

Todd Rundgren Targets Albany for Virtual Concert Tour in A Socially Distanced World
ALBANY — Todd Rundgren – recording artist, producer, songwriter and tech pioneer, has announced his 2021 Clearly Human virtual tour, featuring 25 performances, each of which, organizers say, will be “geo-fenced and tailored” to a different US city.
The 25 performance “tour” kicks off Feb. 14 with a Buffalo, N.Y. show, and continues Feb. 16 with a show tailored for Albany, eventually concluding March 22 with a Seattle date.
Each performance will emanate from a Chicago venue and each of the shows will be “localized” to give both the band and the fans a sense of place. That is, local landmarks will appear on the video wall, catering for the band and crew will feature dishes associated with each city, etc.
Single-ticket purchases in the U.S. will be limited to fans with zip codes corresponding to that show’s greater metropolitan area.
Each show will feature Rundgren and an expanded 10-piece band performing songs from his 50-year-plus catalog, as well as his entire 1989 album ‘Nearly Human’, which will also be re-releasied on CD and colored vinyl.
Remote meet-and-greets with Rundgren will be available at every show, as will options to select viewing from multiple camera angles and to be featured on several rows of video screens that will serve as the real-time “virtual audience” for the evening.
The band for the Clearly Human Tour: Kasim Sulton (Bass), Prairie Prince (Drums), Eliot Lewis (Keys), Gil Assayas (Synth), Bruce McDaniel (Guitar), Bobby Strickland (Sax), Steven Stanley (Trombone), plus the erstwhile “Global Girls”: Michele Rundgren, Grace Yoo, and Ashle Worrick (Background Vocals).
Single tickets are priced at $35, with an array of premium add-ons and multi-date bundles available. The virtual box office is now open: ToddRundgren.NoCapShows.com
