Summer 2021 Mask & Spectator Policy
MASK POLICY
- Everyone entering & exiting the facility for Avalanche Athletics must be wearing a mask.
- Avalanche Staff, Coaches, and Spectators must wear a mask at all times.
- Athletes, once actively engaged in practice may remove their mask.
- During match play, athletes who are on the court may be without a mask if they choose to do so.
- Athletes waiting in rotation, must keep their mask on until entering the set (rotating in).
- Once an athlete rotates out, they must put their mask back on.
SPECTATOR POLICY
- Practices: Due to limited space in the gyms and the number of athletes we have, we will only be allowing 1 spectator per player for practices for the 7/9u, 10/12u, 13/16u and our 4s program for the summer. However, parents/spectators do not need to stay for practices. You may drop and go.
- Matches: We will be allowing 2 spectators per athlete in for Thursday matches. This will not necessarily be strictly enforced, as long as all spectators, coaches, staff, and athletes are adhering to our mask policy.
- Temperature Checks: Everyone entering the facility will still have their temperature checked prior to entering either gym.
- All parents who are attending either practices or matches must enter with their athlete. Once practices and matches have started, the doors will be locked and I will not have any Avalanche staff monitoring the table or doors. Therefore you will not be let in until a staff member is back at the table. Non-Avalanche staff many not let anyone in the building.
POSITIVE COVID TEST
Should an athlete or coach test positive for COVID-19 during the season, these are the immediate protocols that must and will be followed with no exceptions.
- Player or Coach test Positive: Immediately notify Avalanche Athletics. Avalanche will then notify his/her team. The team (athletes & coaches) must either/or:
- Quarantine for 14 days before you’re allowed back into the facility for practices or matches
- Get tested and you may return to practices and matches with proof of negative test results
- Player or Coach Cautionary Test: Should a player or coach deem it necessary to go get a COVID test out of a precaution, regardless of the reason why, they will need to sit out until a negative test is returned.
- Time missed due to COVID are not eligible for refunds or credits.
Avalanche is committed to moving forward with our spring season. I truly feel we’re able to keep the athletes, coaches, and staff safe to the best of our ability. Should I feel that Avalanche is unable to keep everyone safe, for any reason, I will immediately stop and suspend all programming. The health and safety of our athletes and their families come first.
