Quarantine Lock Down Loosens

Churches and schools are still closed, but gyms are open again!  Looking at the calendar, the last day we were able to train in the gym was February 4th.  

In late April, Mongolia canceled school until September.  I was thinking we might get into gyms in June or July if we're lucky.  Imagine my surprise when on May 1st we heard gyms were open again.  We walked in our rented gym and saw a pick-up basketball game going!  It had been a long hiatus.  

We met with the managers and agreed to reactivate our use of the gym as of May 5th.  That is almost exactly 3 months of the whole country being shut out of indoor basketball.  Can you believe it?

It caught us a little off guard, and everyone else as well.  So it was only three coaches at training.  It's still not allowed for kids to gather or be seen in public. So we have more time to prepare for when kids can start to gather, probably closer to September 1st, when school starts.  

Here we are after training for 2 hours on Thursday.
