That’s the simple message from the World’s Largest Provider
of Netball, as the country tries to get used to the lockdown.
Prime Minister, Boris Johnson – who has given his support to
Leisure Leagues - addressed the nation last night and announced new measures
designed to combat the spread of the deadly Coronavirus.
As we announced last week, Leisure Leagues would follow
Government guidelines, and we have now, along with other major companies of all
sectors, announced the temporary suspension of all our activities. That means that our netball leagues in the UK, Ireland and Guernsey will not run until
at least April 14th.
A spokesman added: “Whilst we had hoped to keep running
where it was possible, given the emphasis that even last night, Mr. Johnson placed
on physical fitness, clearly, the best thing for the country as a whole at this
stage is that we don’t run for at least three weeks.”
But the spokesman added that Leisure Leagues were already
making plans to resume the leagues as soon as possible, and are in constant
dialogue with both the venues we are proud to run at, but most importantly, the
teams.”
“Our promise is a simple one,” he said. “When all this is
over – and it will be over – we will be back, exactly the same as before,
providing crucial community focus and fitness all over the world."
He explained further; “After this lockdown is lifted, sport
will be even more vital than it had been before. Physical and mental health
will be affected in the most unprecedented way by all this, and it is up to companies
like Leisure Leagues to help and be at the forefront of the nation’s recovery,
and truly bring the nation back together."
