Return-to-Play Guidelines
The following protocols need to be followed. Anyone that is not willing to comply with Health and Safety Protocols put in place will be asked to leave the facility and may not return until they are willing to follow the protocols.
A Phased Approach Based on Federal, State, and Local Guidelines General Guidance The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offers recommendations on how members of the public can limit the spread of the coronavirus.
They currently include:
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces and exercise equipment (including balls).
- Thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.
- Stay at least 6 feet away from non-household members. Note: research is ongoing on appropriate physical distance for bodies in motion. Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing. Stay at home if you are sick.
- Currently we are following the same protocols as the SVUSD.
Overall all Standard Practice Healthy Participants Only: Any players, coaches, spectators who are sick will not be allowed inside the complex. Social Distancing signs and other Covid-19 related reminders are clearly posted throughout the complex.
SPRING BALL 2022 For the SSBB Board:
- Identify strategies for working with public health officials to notify adult leaders, youth, and their families if the organization becomes aware of a participant developing COVID-19 who encountered others during your activities.
- Maintain participant confidentiality regarding health status.
- Have an action plan in place, in case of notification of a positive test result.
- Provide coaches with a detailed explanation and training on these recommendations.
- Schedule practices with ample space for player distancing.
COACHES:
