Greetings ELO Football and Cheer Families,

East Lincoln Optimist has decided to cancel the 2020 Fall Football and Cheer season. Please note that this was a hard decision to make as members of the boards and coaching staff have been discussing the viable options for a season over the past weeks. With practices scheduled to kick off a couple weeks from now,  we deem that we do not have enough directives from the state and local government officials to get our season underway. Currently the field we operate on is still closed. With such a large group of participants and the restrictions set in place by the state (phase 2), restrictions set in place by the NCHSAA (Phase 1), and the requirements in place to open a facility the challenges have simply become insurmountable for a volunteer organization such as East Lincoln Optimist.

Being that our sport competes with neighboring youth organizations from different counties, we want to ensure that our kids are safe not only within our care but also at other facilities.

Thank you to each one of you for your continued support and understanding during these uncertain times for us all.  We truly tried everything that we could to conduct a Fall 2020 season, but unfortunately with no directives and all the delays, this is putting our organization behind on making sure our athletes and cheerleaders have all the necessities they need.

We ask that you please be patient in the coming weeks as we work diligently to return registration funds. Thanks and enjoy the rest of your summer!
