Re: 2021 Pennsylvania State Championship

Dear Parents, Athletes, Master and extended TKD Family,

Pennsylvania Taekwondo has been monitoring the situation regarding the coronavirus (COVID-19). The top priority for PA Taekwondo is the health and safety and well-being of all Staff, Athletes, Officials, and participants involved in the PA Taekwondo Championship.

After some discussion, it has become unclear as to when things will return to what we consider normal, since the majority of  PA residents have not even been able to receive their first vaccine shot . For this reason and the safety of all, the Pennsylvania Taekwondo board members have decided to not have a state tournament this year.

We feel bad that we are not able to provide the level of competition you have become accustomed to with PA Taekwondo family due to the pamdemic. Again, the health and safety of all Staff, Athletes, Officials, and participants is of the utmost importance. As always, we appreciate your continued support and thank you for your understanding during these unusual times.

We look forward to seeing everyone in the future and wish everyone a healthy and safe future.

Sincerely,

Robert H. Smith

President
