-Athletes/Coaches will complete a COVID self screening questionnaire prior to each session while taking attendance.

-If an athlete is not feeling well, please not send the athlete to a workout.   If an athlete is diagnosed with COVID-19, please report that to your coach ASAP.

-All students should bring their own LABELED water to workouts. Water bottle filling stations will be accessible.

-When practicing inside the building, all athletes will wear a mask while entering and exiting.  Athletes do not have to wear a mask while exercising.   Coaches will wear a mask while inside the building and working close to our athletes.

-When practicing outdoors, athletes will not be required to wear a mask.   Coaches will wear a mask when in close proximity to our athletes.

-Any student who prefers to wear a mask while participating, provided it does not cause a health risk, will be allowed to do so. 

-When arriving and leaving workouts, all coaches and athletes will use provided hand sanitizer or will be asked to wash their hands.

-Before and after each practice, equipment will be sanitized using a disinfectant spray.

-All clothing worn at a workout must be washed before it can be brought back to the next workout.   

-Workouts are closed to anyone other than our coaches and athletes.

-After a workout, athletes should be picked up immediately and the parking lot should be cleared. 

-Limited Locker room access.  Athletes should come dressed for the workout.
