Practice Schedule Week of 9/28/20

 Hi Everyone.

Our first day of practice will be Tuesday 9/29.   As mentioned in the previous post, you are not permitted to practice if your physical is not current or if you have a school obligation.  We will be taking and recording temperatures at the beginning of every practice.  Please do not come to practice if you answer yes to any of the following questions:

In the past 14 days, have you been near (within 6 feet for at least 15 minutes) a person who has a lab-confirmed case of COVID-19, or have you had direct contact with their mucus or saliva?

In the last 48 hours, have you had any of the following symptoms?

• Fever of 100.4 F or above (or symptoms like alternating shivering and sweating)
• New cough
• New trouble breathing, shortness of breath or severe wheezing
• New chills of shaking with chills
• New muscle aches
• Sore throat
• Vomiting or diarrhea
• New loss of smell or taste, or a change in taste
• Nausea
• Fatigue
• Headache, congestion or runny nose (with no known other cause such as allergies)

All athletes must wear a mask to practice,  bring a towel and their own water bottle. I recommend purchasing a 32 ounce water bottle and label it with your name.  We will not be bringing the big jug of water to practices to prevent the spread of any germs.  Athletes will sit in the center of towels during stretching to assure social distance protocols.

Masks must be worn during stretching and drills.  Per Gov. Carney's directive, XC Athletes are permitted to remove masks once we start running.  They can wear them on their wrists during workouts and put them back on after the running portion of practice ends.

See below for practice locations and times for the coming week:

Please be prompt when picking up athletes from practice.  

We will be practicing at State Parks several days a week during the season.  There is a daily $4 charge for cars entering the park.  I highly recommend all parents or student drivers to purchase an annual pass.  Click HERE for more info on where to purchase.

For those returning runners who are using last year's physical or for any runners who used the OLD form, click HERE to get the new DIAA form.  All the pages concerning COVID must be signed by the parent.  Please bring to practice. Thanks!

That's all for now.  Please let me know if you have any questions.  You can text me via the REMIND App or email me.

See you soon!
