COVID POLICY and SAFETY MEASURES

PLEASE NOTE: Masks are OPTIONAL for this event WHILE ON THE COURT. 

2021 is going to be a great year, and we look forward to seeing everyone back in the gym this summer!

The comfort, health, and safety of everyone remains central to our planning for all our upcoming events and classes. Please note the following:

  • Face Masks are always required while not participating in on-the-court activities. This includes entering and exiting the facility. The face mask must cover both the mouth and the nose.
  • Temperature Checks will be conducted upon entering for each participant before every session. If a player’s temperature exceeds 99.0 degrees, he/she can wait 20 minutes to retake it. If the temperature still exceeds 99.0 degrees the player cannot participate, no exceptions!
  • A Health Screen Questionnaire may be required upon daily entry.
  • Visitors will not be allowed during camp.
  • All players and staff will practice Social Distancing as much as possible on the court and off.

If any session or camp is canceled directly due to COVID related issues you will be refunded 100% for all remaining sessions/time. For ongoing training classes we can either apply the remaining amount as a credit or do a prorated refund. Contact us for more information.

Before Arriving
  • If the athlete (or any recent close contact such as a parent, sibling, friend, etc.) feels sick at all, or has been around anyone suspected of having (or actually having) the coronavirus, flu, or any other illness in the past 10 days, please do not attend any camp or training session.
Check-In
  • All athletes, parents, and staff will be required to wear a mask during check-in each day. Athletes can remove the mask once on-court activities begin.
  • Only 1 adult may accompany each participant while checking-in each day.
  • The check-in line will be socially distanced.
  • Temperature Checks will be conducted during check-in for each participant before every session.
  • A Health Screen Questionnaire may be required upon daily entry.
During Camp / Classes
  • Good hygiene is important. Before, during, and after coming to any camp or training session, participants should wash their hands rigorously (for at least 20 seconds) and use hand sanitizer. During the camp / training session, they should avoid touching their face as much as possible, and (if needed) sneeze/cough outside the gym and into the elbow.
  • Players should bring their own water bottle (with name on it) and keep it in a place where only they will touch the bottle. The same applies for any camp that has a snack time.
  • Players should bring their own basketballs whenever possible (please write your name on the ball). If they do not have a ball, one will be provided.
Picking Players Up
  • Parents picking athletes up will need to wait outside. Sport Progression staff will escort participants outside to the pick-up area. Please let staff know beforehand if you will be picking up any participant early.
