Summer Sports Update
As you are probably aware, the Governor, the Department of Education and both Athletic Associations have approved the resumption of summer baseball and softball. The following guidelines have been given by the Department of Education and the athletic associations. We appreciate your cooperation ahead of time!
For practices:
Players and coaches should check their temperatures before attending practices. Anyone with a temp over 100.3 should not attend!
No dugouts may be used. Players’ items should be lined up against the fence at least six feet apart.
Parents must remain in their cars or drop off and pick up players after practice.
Players are allowed to drive to practice individually or with a sibling.
Players should use their own gloves, helmets, and bats as much as possible.
Coaches are responsible for ensuring social distancing is maintained between players as much as possible. This means additional spacing between players while playing catch, changing drills so that players remain spaced out, and no congregating of players while waiting to bat.
Players must bring their own water/beverage to consume during and after practice. No shared drinking fountains, portable hydration stations, or coolers may be used.
Coaches must sanitize shared equipment before and after each practice.
Anyone with symptoms of illness is not allowed to practice.
Players are encouraged to provide their own hand sanitizer.
Coaches must ban the spitting of sunflower seed shells.
Coaches are responsible for tracking absences for the purpose of noting potential COVID-19 cases.
The school will contact public health if a positive case of COVID-19 is reported.
For Games:
Use of dugouts is permitted during games only.
Players should use their own gloves, helmets, and bats as much as possible.
Players must bring their own water/beverage to consume during and after games. No shared drinking fountains, water stations, or coolers may be used.
Coaches must sanitize shared equipment before and after each game.
Players and coaches should check their temperatures before attending practices or games.
Anyone with symptoms of illness is not allowed to participate.
The bleachers will be closed to all fans. Please bring your own chairs or stand while practicing social distancing.
Fans should practice social distancing between different household units and accept personal
responsibility for public health guidelines.
Fans must not attend if they have symptoms of illness.
No concessions stands are permitted.
Some teams will have a bucket out and be charging $5.00 free will admission (exact change only)
Please no gathering before or after games!
By order of the department of education we must also social distance when providing transportation. This means we can only seat 11 people on a bus trip. We can allow players to travel to games with their parents or members of their immediate household. In order to transport we will be asking some parents to provide transportation for their son or daughter if possible. PLAYERS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DRIVE THEMSELVES TO GAMES.
Once again we will appreciate everyone’s cooperation in following these guidelines.
