Covid 19 Guidelines and Protocols

Protecting our Athletes and Coaches is our primary goal.  But we are also working to protect those around our Athletes and our Coaches.  

Guidelines:

• Outdoor activity.  We will be outside as much as we can.

• Wear a mask when indoors or on a bus.  

• Social Distancing.        

• We will divide into Practice and Race Pods for training and racing.

• Group size will be limited.

• Attendance taken for contact tracing.  

• If you are sick, or suspect you might be sick, do not attend.

• Report Positive Tests.

Challenges:

• It still won’t be like a normal year.  Everything is uncertain and can change.

• Cold weather adds a layer of complexity.

• Locker Rooms available for changing by team.  No lockers will be issued.

• Some Buildings will be available.  

• What to do with cold athletes?

• Waxing will usually be outside.  Mostly liquid glide waxing.  

• Bus Transportation – We will order, but don’t expect to get bus transportation

• Hope for a good snow year, access to man-made snow will be limited.

• Most practices at Como Nordic.  Athletes may have to transport themselves.  

• Equity concerns.  How to address.

• Practice times?  When during the day?  What days?

• Dividing the Team into Pods.  Probably using Google Form.
