Due to recent recommendations by the CDC, the Department of Health, and the ongoing status of COVID-19, the Sabercat organization has to push back the dates for the spring season.

Originally set for April 1-May 31, 2020, to a new date to be set at a later time. 
Thank you for your patience with us during this unprecedented time. We will continue to monitor the status and trends of the virus, the changes in travel policies, as well as any developing plans for our spring season and tryouts. If alternate plans become necessary, we will advise as soon as reasonably possible.

More information and resources coming in our April Newsletter – Look For it!

In the meantime Yerba Buena Ice Skating and Bowling Center Closed Until Further Notice

Yerba Buena Ice Skating & Bowling Center is taking the information below and adhering to the Mayor’s order. We will be closing Monday March 16th at 5:00pm until further notice.

Six San Francisco Bay Area counties are issuing shelter in place orders Monday afternoon, encouraging residents to stay home. The new declarations issued by Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo, and Santa Clara counties, along with the city of Berkeley, affect nearly 7 million people.

Starting at midnight, residents of these counties are advised to stay home except for essential needs such as getting food, picking up medicine, seeing a doctor, care for a family member or friend, or for work reasons.

We keep the safety and well-being of everyone seriously and hope we can all return to the skating & bowling center soon. If you need to remove anything from your personal lockers, we will have a staff member here onsite 10-5. Please call or email first so we are sure not to miss you. If you need to make other arrangements, please email us at skatebowl@skatebowl.com. Our Management team is still available to answer any questions or concerns via email.

We share your concerns regarding the COVID 19 virus and want to assure you that as the Sabercats Ice Hockey Club in partnership with Yerba Buena Ice Center – are taking extra precautions in an attempt to maintain a clean and sanitary environment. Aside from any measures NorCal may enforce, the following steps are being taken at Yerba Buena:

What we can all do:

  • and attending public events.
  • Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
  • If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Always wash hands with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty.
  • Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
  • Stay home when you are sick.
