The Trumbull Varsity Boys Tennis Team had their first match today against a very strong team from Westhill.  It was a thrill to watch them play their hearts out - the level of play from both teams was high, and even though we came out on the loss side, it was a great experience for all players to be back on the courts. Kudos to the 4 captains - Sai Kolasani, Adi Prabakaran, Tej Yalamanchil, and Luke Samsoskevich - for their leadership in getting the team off and running.  All 14 players are working extremely hard to improve their games.  The boys have only just begun!

Girls’ varsity tennis traveled to Westhill for our opening match. The girls all played very well; there were many deuce games in each set, unfortunately we were unable to convert those into games won, and Westhill swept us 7-0. 1st doubles team of Ally Szabo and Ritika Birje came very close to winning their match, but lost a really competitive tiebreaker 8-10. A huge “Thank you!”, to all the parents who drove out to Stamford to support our team!

The Trumbull Boys Volleyball team defeated Fairfield Ludlowe 3-0 to open the season. The Eagles had a balanced attack lead by Kieran O'Sullivan with 5 kills and 2 blocks, Brennan Cutter with 4 kills and 5 blocks and Sage Gatling with 4 kills and 3 blocks. Anthony O'Sullivan had 21 assists and 4 aces. Hank Carslon added 13 digs and 3 assists of his own. The scores were 25-15, 25-15, and 15-14. The Eagles will be back on court on Monday at 5:30 for their home opener vs Ridgefield.

Re: Sports Quarantine

On March 19, 2021, the CT Department of Public Health issued guidance for the operation of interscholastic, youth and other amateur sport activities during the COVID-19 pandemic.  The Trumbull Health Department issued a letter on April 1, 2021 highlighting the state sport guidance.  Since that letter was issued, the Trumbull Health Department has received further information regarding sports and quarantine.  Please refer to the protocols and guidelines below.  These protocols are enforceable by the CT Department of Economic and Community Development NOT the Trumbull Health Department.

Quarantine Requirements After a Positive COVID-19 Exposure

Any individual who has been instructed to quarantine due to a positive COVID-19 exposure is not allowed to engage in any activities or return to school for a minimum of 10 days from the date of exposure. 

A quarantine period of 14 days is required for individuals to return to athletic activities.  They may return to school, work, or other activities after day 10, however, they cannot return to sport activities until after day 14.  There is no test-out option for those exposed.  If players, coaches, or officials are close contacts of a known case, then they are required to quarantine from team athletic activities for a full 14 days (no test out option) regardless of whether they are allowed to return to school with shortened quarantine.

Travel Requirements for Out-of-State Sport Competitions

Children traveling out-of-state for greater than 24 hours for the purposes of engaging in athletic activities must quarantine for 7 days with a test at 3-5 days after returning OR quarantine for 10 days without a test.  This would apply to children who may be, for example, traveling to Florida over spring break week to participate in an athletic tournament.  

In addition to a 14 day quarantine, schools and other organizations may have additional requirements to return to sport activities after testing positive for or being exposed to COVID. 

Thank you for your cooperation.
