Hello Bulldog Nation!
Below is important information for ALL registered Spring season athletes. The Spring sports season will feature Competitive Cheer, Wrestling, Baseball, Softball, Boys and Girls Track and Field, Boys and Girls Tennis, and Boys and Girls Lacrosse.
This is MUST READ info for Monday!
Sport Specific info can be found at the bottom
CHS Athletics Self-Screen Health Questionnaire-
As part of our CHS Athletics Covid-19 Protocols, all who participate in CHS Athletics activities (games, meets, practice, meetings, etc.) must complete our CHS Athletics Self-Screen Health Questionnaire DAILY- and as close as possible to the time you are actually participating in CHS athletics that day. The questionnaire must be completed by student athletes, coaches, referees, spectators and other game officials. We ask that everyone do their part to keep us all safe/healthy, by making this daily task a priority.
The link to the Self-Screen can be found below. This screen is separate and in addition to, the student screen needed to attend school.
So- ALL student athletes attending tryouts/practices on Monday, must complete the screening prior to participating. Your presence at practice will indicate to our coaching staff that you have completed the screening. The CHS Athletic office will be confirming that forms have been filled out on a daily basis.
Please consider saving the link on your phone for easy access daily.
Click Here for the Daily Screen. (Spring sports will replace Fall 2 sports on this as of 4/25/21)
Social Distancing/Masks/Arrival Procedures-
- Student athletes may not arrive at a CHS athletic practice more than 15 minutes prior to the start. If you do arrive earlier than that we ask you to REMAIN IN YOUR CAR. Do NOT congregate in groups in the parking lot or in hallways, etc.
- Student athletes must wear a properly worn mask while arriving at practice. Be sure to have a back-up. We will have back-up masks available as well.
- ALWAYS practice social distancing while at practices and games. Please understand that wearing a mask does not allow you to stand close to each other. We MUST SOCIALLY DISTANCE as well. Avoid contact with other student athletes and coaches. No "high fives," "fist bumps", or "pats on the back."
Drinking Water-
- All student athletes are expected to arrive at all practices/games/meets/matches with their own, individual water bottle. Be sure to bring enough. A 16 oz bottle of water is typically nowhere near enough water for a practice session or game.
- Be sure your water bottle is clearly labeled.
- The Athletic Trainer may have water available for emergencies only at CHS but not at off-campus sites. Don't assume water bubblers will be available. They most likely will not.
Other Important Info-
- Only student athletes who have been registered to participate and have provided an up-to-date physical exam to the Athletic Office may attend Monday.
- If you must carpool to practices, please WEAR masks in the car. It makes no sense for us to all put this huge effort into following protocols and then hopping in cars with teammates, mask-less. Please do your part.
