These plans are approved. Universal precautions for all sports, our non-negotiables:
1. All athletes return the release of liability form prior to the first practice.
2. All athletes/coaches complete the daily attestation prior to practice.
3. All athletes/coaches take a daily temperature check.
Most important! Our board met with Dr. Unthank last night. She was excited to see our student-athletes back out on the field/courts. She emphasized the importance of the TEAM/Families to follow the DOH guidance (mask, social distancing, good hygiene, etc.) both on and off the court/field. Because sports, in general, are higher-risk activities, if a team experiences a COVID positive it is likely the whole team will be quarantined. The coaches need to teach these concepts AND expect their athletes to act in a responsible manner with regards to these prevention practices.
Thanks, Marty Brewer
