River City Softball

Hello River City family,

The health and safety of our athletes and families is of utmost importance to us. In the light of the current health issue regarding Coronavirus (COVID-19), we have come up with some best practices we are asking our coaches and players to observe.
While the likelihood of any of our athletes becoming sick due to this virus is low, we recognize that the disease can be transferred to susceptible members of the community. With that in mind, we would like to make clear that any scheduled team practice or function is completely optional. If you are not comfortable sending your child, please keep them at home. Obviously, if your child IS sick, or showing signs of virus symptoms, please do NOT allow them to attend any team activities. If your child has been out of the country, or has been in contact with someone out of the country in the last 14 days, please keep them home as well.
As per current Softball Alberta best practices, we will be asking our athletes to wash their hands prior to the start of any team activity, and continuing to wash their hands every thirty minutes. All equipment will be sanitized at the start of practice, and on a regular basis throughout the practice. We are asking our athletes to limit physical contact with others. (eg. No high fives, hugs, etc.) A more detailed list can be found on softballalberta.ca
Coaches will be limiting group sizes to reduce the potential of person to person contact. For example, if ten athletes are scheduled for a two hour practice, we may have one group of five come for the first hour, and another group of five come for the second hour.

Use your best judgement, and err on the side of safety.

Brady
