Game on Tip of The Week

Get prepared before games and practice, check your kids' temperatures as well as their symptoms before heading out the house. 

Just so you know...

We asked sport parents like you about how they felt about safety during practice, games and tournaments. Game and practice days should look different as health screens and temperature checks are expected by the majority to be a new role for team volunteers, with 45% agreeing with eliminating locker room time and having physical distancing between kids enforced by staff.
