Yahoo! Grab your mask and a light and a dark shirt.
This Tuesday August 11th, we will play ultimate in Tewksbury with virus friendly rules.
Our safety team has condensed a multitude of guidelines and restrictions down to 11 new rules for us. Let’s do this and see how it goes.
- No more than 25 people at one ‘playing surface/field’
- Facial coverings and 6 feet of separation are required for all spectators and those participants not actively engaged in the sport (recommended for spectators even further than 6 feet apart)
- Discs will be disinfected between points.
- Participants must wash/sanitize at arrival and before departure (sanitizer available at all activities)
- Each player should fill out and provide the screening questionnaire for each game (to be brought with or have one sign in sheet with all the questions that they have to agree with once arriving as part of an attendance sheet for contact tracing)
- Have a person designated to monitor for physical distancing, routine sanitizing of discs, and appropriate use of facial coverings
- Make sure expectations, precautions, etc are communicated ahead of time and before the event starts
- Remote/satellite defense – at least 6 feet apart, recommends 10 feet. Remote stalls encouraged instead.
- Any contact is a foul/turn-over
- Do not use pinnies – ask players to bring a light or dark shirt (or both, but they suggest not having people switch teams mid-game).
- Reduce ‘active’ players on the field at any given time to below 7v7 (they suggest 4v4 to start)
Game on! at 6:00 pm, Tuesday August 11th at the Tewksbury field.
