Team ​Safety Protocol and 
​Community Resources

Important: Anybody coming from out of state is required to have two negative tests, the second one being seven days after the first, before coming back to practice.
August 13 - ASD Fall Sports Will Begin August 17th

  • ASD acknowledges sports and activities are a significant part of the secondary school experience and produce many physical and mental health benefits for students.  
  • While many of our secondary schools have more than 1000 students in the building on a daily basis when in full face-to-face operation, sports and activities naturally operate with much smaller student groupings.
  • When intentionally scheduled by level (Varsity, JV, C), sports and activities can easily reduce student interaction to consistent groups of less than 50 students. 
  • Sports are an “opt in” activity, not a graduation requirement; therefore, if a family has health concerns, they can choose not to participate, unlike school attendance that is required. 
  • Under ASD’s summer contact mitigation plan, screening and distancing protocols were implemented and diligently followed by coaches. During this time, while individual positive cases of COVID-19 surfaced, there were no secondary positive cases, demonstrating that the mitigation protocols implemented by our coaches and athletes proved effective in limiting transmission.
  • Youth sports organizations in our community have safely operated this summer, and continue to do so, with additional mitigation protocols in place.  ASD has partnered with several of these youth organizations to learn from their experience and to write mitigation plans that take into account the unique equipment and venues associated with each individual fall sport.
  • The district has received an outpouring of correspondence from parents and students advocating for a high school fall sports season, and we are glad we are able to provide this opportunity. Whether we are able to move into regular practices with shared equipment and full contact, and whether we are able to host competitions this fall, will largely depend on the COVID-19 health status in the municipality in the coming weeks.
  • The district is once again encouraging all community members to observe the Mayor’s health mandates to help reduce the spread of COVID-19 so our student athletes can enjoy the benefits of participating in school-related sports and activities this fall and eventually return to school in person.

 Safety Protocol

Practice -Masks are required for practice...
  • No mask, no practice.

  • Mask must be worn until we break into small groups for the main part of the workout.
  • Coaches must have contact phone numbers for all athletes and parents
