SCIAA Track & Field COVID-19 Guidelines
- All spectators, coaches and staff must wear masks at all times
- All student-athletes must wear masks while they are not engaged in competition. Student-athletes may wear masks during competition if they so choose.
- All coaches, staff, and student-athletes should use hand sanitizer stations when possible
- All coaches, staff, and student-athletes must maintain at least 6’ of social distancing at all times.
- Teams should maintain social distance in the stands area and should not socialize with other teams.
- Student-athletes should remain in the stands until the first call of their race to help reduce congregation on the field for warm-ups.
- Athletes and coaches should be screened and temperature checked before attending practices or games. If a student- athlete or a coaching staff member fails screening they should not attend practices or games. A record should be kept of all individuals present at team activities.
- Athletes and coaches should be screened and temperature checked before leaving for games. If a student- athlete or a coaching staff member fails screening they should not attend the game as a participant or spectator.
- Do NOT share water bottles, equipment, towels, etc.
- Student-athletes should use hand sanitizer before and after using shared implements (relay baton, discus, shot put, pole vault poles, etc.). Those shared track and field implements should be cleaned before and after each use.
- No team huddles, handshakes or fist bumps should take place.
- Allow for physical distancing in common areas including bathrooms, stands, sidelines, dugouts.
2021 TSSAA/TMSAA Track & Field Modifications/Considerations
- Limit interaction with athletes from opposing schools
- Eliminate handshakes
- No shared equipment, towels, practice gear, etc.
- Have hand sanitizer at each event station
- Disinfect mats after each round of competition if possible
- Officials should wear face coverings
- Conference with coaches should take place with proper social distancing
- Do not participate if sick (if there is doubt stay home)
- Disinfect personal equipment after each game or practice
I think do not share personal ….. this is under SCIAA Covid Guidelines [GU1]
What do you think about shared items being cleaned “before” and after use? [GU2]
I would ask the coordinators about the 2 events prior to their event having those kids on the field to see if that is enough time [GU3]
Also some of the TSSAA and SCIAA are the same. Eliminate the ones in the SCIAA that are the same [GU4]
