The Woodridge Athletic Association (WAA) will always make the safety of our players, coaches and families a top priority. The WAA is an affiliate of the Woodridge Park District and will follow their lead and abide by their guidelines during this difficult time. As such, all WAA activities are currently suspended until Monday, April 6. This includes the use of all the ballfields located on both park district and school district property. 

The following upcoming events are cancelled at this time:

• March 21 Equipment pick-up 
• March 24 Woodridge Travel Board meeting 
• Any team indoor and outdoor practices

As you know this is a rapidly evolving situation and we will provide additional information when we can. Should the season be further delayed past April 6, we will provide timely notification and information regarding the impact of such a delay.

If you have any specific questions, please contact any one of the WAA Board Members or WAA League Commissioners.

We thank you for your cooperation and we will be thinking of our community during this difficult time.
