“Return to Play” COVID Safety Procedures for Athletes
​
There are COVID rules in place for using the gym. Please read all the details carefully as these details will help to keep everyone healthy and safe.
​
- MASKS ARE REQUIRED UPON ENTRY/EXIT TO/FROM THE GYM, while taking gear on & off, setting up and taking down nets, and while using the restrooms. Players do not have to wear a mask during training unless they want to. Coaches must wear masks at all times unless training with players.
​
-There are a limited number of players and coaches allowed in the gym at a time. Every location has different rules and restrictions for how many households are allowed per side of the net. We are currently limiting all capacity so trainings can range from 4 to 12 players max per court, again depending on location site. All players will maintain 6 feet apart distance during non-training activities. Each group will be on 1 side of court separated by the net as a buffer zone.
​
-The players will have to wait outside the gym doors 6 feet apart with their masks on or in their vehicle until coaches let them in at the scheduled time.
​
-Coaches will use a forehead, non-contact thermometer to do temperature checks before entering the gym.
​
-No parents or spectators will be allowed inside the gym.
​
-Players and coaches will have frequent water breaks, which will also act as a time that players must use their own hand sanitizer before handling and drinking water and returning to play after the break.
​
-Players and coaches will sanitize balls and equipment after every training time session. Coaches will provide cleaning supplies for this.
