Coach Zack first interest is keeping your children safe. Any child who is not feeling well or has a household member that is sick should cancel their lesson and reschedule.
Do not play if any of you:
Are exhibiting any symptoms of the coronavirus. According to the CDC, people with COVID-19 have had a wide range of symptoms reported—ranging from mild symptoms to severe illness. These symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus: fever, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, chills, repeated shaking with chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, new loss of taste or smell.
Have been in contact with someone with COVID-19 in the last 14 days.
PREPARING TO PLAY
Protect against infections:
Wash your hands with soap and water (for 20 seconds or longer), or use a hand sanitizer if soap and water are not readily available, before going to the court.
Arrive as close as possible to when you need to be there.
Avoid touching court gates, fences, benches, etc., if you can.
When Playing
Avoid touching your face after handling a ball, racquet or other equipment. Wash your hands promptly if you have touched your eyes, nose or mouth.
Coach Zack will try to minimize the times your child touches the balls with their hand to protect them from contact
Coach Zack will attempt to maintain a 6' distance between himself and the student.
Wash your hands thoroughly or use a hand sanitizer after coming off the court.
Please address any concerns to Coach Zack.
