Covid Protocol as of 09/29/2021
Included is the updated Covid exposure protocol. These are the guidelines staff, parents, and players are asked to follow. We will update as the situation presents the need. The goal is to work together in communication to stay ahead of exposure and ultimately infection. Communication is key! Privacy will always be respected. Always err on the side of caution. It is far less impactful to play it safe and remove the potential risk, then to push through and “hope it’s nothing”. Don’t risk the season to win a game.
