USL HQ also remains in regular dialogue with the USL Players Association on all matters concerning player health and wellness protocols and looks forward to continuing those discussions.
"I am so impressed with our USL Championship league and franchise partners across the nation choosing to invest more in staff, players, and communities in the midst of uncertainty," said Switchbacks President, Nick Ragain. "We are also extremely grateful for the ongoing support from our amazing season ticket members and sponsors as we navigate 2020 and prepare a new downtown stadium in 2021. We will have more details forthcoming but have taken our first step in bringing back normalcy."
