Dear Spirit Athletics Members and the Community,

It is with extreme sadness that we have to make this announcement.

Largely due to the negative impacts that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on our business, and the severe lack of support from the Ontario government during this entire experience, we have made the decision to close our doors indefinitely.

We were hopeful to make it through the pandemic in one piece, but due to overhead costs, and capacity limits on our program sizes and limits on our training for most of the last two years, it is impractical for us to continue business at this time.

Prior to the pandemic, our program had more than doubled in size in less than one year of existence. It is bittersweet to think about where we would be right now if things had happened differently.

Thank you to all of the families who have been with us throughout this journey. And thank you to our amazing coaches and volunteers, who, simply because of who they are, have been the main reason our business saw so much success.

We hope that this isn’t a “goodbye” but rather a “see you later”, and we wish you all amazing luck on your future endeavours.

All the best! Cheers,

Rhys Ottaway
Founder, Spirit Athletics
