While we are excited to begin our return to basketball training, we are also focused on establishing procedures that will reduce the risks of COVID-19 infection and transmission.

Watch for Symptoms and ask your Player before each practice how they feel, so to ascertain if they are symptom free and fit for practice.
If anyone in your household has traveled to an area requiring a 14-day quarantine, the player is not allowed to come practice until the quarantine period has elapsed.
Hand Hygiene and Respiratory Etiquette
Individuals, including coaches, players, and families, are to practice good hand hygiene and respiratory etiquette, including:
Frequently wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
Avoid touching your face.
