FORT HALL — Timbee Hall is closing for at least two weeks, perhaps more said Fort Hall Recreation Director Mike Sakelaris.

There is no more leagues, however the little league baseball is continuing as they have four teams including 49 baseball players.

During the closure Sakelaris said staff will be disinfecting the gym including the weight room.

There will be signs on the door advising of the closure.

Tournament cancellation
Fort Hall Recreation has also made the decision to cancel all remaining tournaments scheduled in 2020.

Sakelaris said this decision was not made lightly, “As we know how important the basketball tournaments are to the basketball players, coaches, fans, and the community. After consulting with my employees, medical experts, public safety, and others in the community, we feel that this is the right decision for the health and safety of the community.”

He said they do not feel that the risk of having tournaments is worth it, “If one person was infected it could spread to the whole community. We do not want to take that chance. The tournaments will go on next year.”
