2020 Summer S&C Guidelines

Friday, July 3, 2020

Good afternoon student athletes and parents/guardians,

Thank you for registering for one of our optional summer strength & conditioning programs with the sport you are involved with. The program will be much different than past years, but we feel it is important to resocialize our student athletes and focus on their mental, social, and physical well being as we prepare for the fall. Please understand that the sessions are based on the coaches' schedules who are doing this voluntarily. If your student athlete is interested in additional training, please have them go onto the Strength & Conditioning page on www.newingtonathletics.com and follow the directions to join our Train Heroic platform, which provides at home training guidance.

In order for us to operate these programs throughout the designated timeline, we will need the student athletes involved to follow our protocols at all times. Any student athletes who are unwilling to adhere to the protocols will be removed and no longer allowed to participate in our programs.

Below are guidelines we will utilize to ensure the safety and well being of our student athletes throughout our training sessions.

Students can only attend the workout session they are assigned to

Cohorting is critical to our programs. No sessions are mandatory, so if a student is unable to attend a session it is ok. They are not allowed to join another session for any reason.

No one other than student athletes and coaches are allowed to be at the workouts.

Individuals providing transportation should remain in their cars at all times.

No congregating before or after workouts

Students should arrive no more than 5 minutes before the session and be picked up promptly when the session ends.
Students cannot arrive early and wait for their session to begin. Students may not be able to participate if they arrive early or are not picked up on time.

Students must complete the Wellness Self Assessment before arriving at the training sessions each day.

The student should not attend the session if they answer "yes" to any questions. If the fever is over 100, they will be required to stay home for 3 days and provide a doctor's note to return
The student should be brought to the designated entrance for your program and not leave the car or walk into the training area before the coach has verified your Wellness Self Assessment.

***No mask, no water bottle, no hand sanitizer, NO WORKOUT***

Students must wear a mask upon arrival, departure, and when not engaged in physical activity
Water will not be accessible, so in order to maintain proper hydration, students must have their own personal water bottle each day.
Students must have individual hand sanitizer that should be used before arrival, after breaks, and before departure from the session

Students will report to designated area and maintain 6 ft. social distancing at all times

Designated area is where personal belongings will go and where students will rest

No sharing of any personal items
Only a portable toilet will be available

Please use the bathroom before arriving when possible.

Students will depart from the session one at a time and should go directly to their pickup car or begin walking home from the facility.

Also, in accordance with the governor's Travel Advisory, anyone traveling back from a state on this list should quarantine for 14 days and not attend any sessions. Below is a link that will provide an up to date list of states meeting that criteria to cross reference if you plan to travel.
