On Tuesday, ¼öƬapp Athletics updated its COVID-19 practices, including capacity limits for indoor games/activities, daily health screenings and masking for anyone not participating in vigorous activities. These practices also apply to everyone at athletic events at ¼öƬapp, including to those visiting from outside the district.
The updated recommendations are in response to the return to Stage 5 of the COVID-19 risk-based guidelines amidst the omicron outbreak. The changes are in line with guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Changes to the COVID-19 practices include:
- Two-person per player capacity limit for indoor games/activities. All visitors are required to wear their masks.
- Verbal symptom screening will be done daily at practices to confirm athletes are feeling well.
- Face masks are required for athletes who are not engaged in vigorous activity and when on the sidelines, in the locker rooms, in meetings, etc.
- Athletic teams (varsity, junior varsity, freshman) will practice separately during workouts to not expose different levels with each other. Attendance rosters are required to be kept every day.
- Athletes need to bring their own labeled water bottle to practice every day.
- Athletic equipment will continue to be cleaned and disinfected regularly.
- Access to locker rooms will be limited. Staggering of athletes will be done when entering/exiting.
- Anyone who has symptoms should not be attending any type of school activity.
