All coaches, athletes and families are required to self-monitor for signs and symptoms of COVID-19. The following policies and procedures are being implemented to assess health status, of all, prior to entering (insert club name). This process is not all encompassing and does not guarantee the health of any individual entering training with BAVA at API.

1. All individuals should take their temperature before arriving in the gym and only individuals with a temperature lower than 99.5 degrees will be allowed to enter the facility.
2. All individuals entering the practice site will be required to be cold/flu/COVID-19 symptom free for three days prior to entrance. If anyone is displaying any symptoms of the above, they must be kept home. If, upon their arrival or during their training time they display any of the above symptoms they will be immediately moved to the sideline and must be picked up by their parents immediately. Then, the court  and balls will be immediately disinfected. The sanitizing process will be implemented by BAVA and will take approximately 15 minutes. Athletes that could have come into contact with the athlete displaying signs of illness will immediately wash their hands and arms and resume training once the zone has been disinfected.
3. Should anyone participating in training with BAVA be diagnosed with COVID-19, they should immediately contact BAVA and follow proper healthcare procedures as laid out by their health care professional, including quarantining. Athletes, coaches, and staff must have, in writing, signed, clearance from their health care professional to resume activity after a COVID-19 diagnosis OR the original, dated, “order” to quarantine with the specified duration from their health care professional so we can verify with their compliance with that "order" upon their return.

1. Detailed records of individual attendance will be kept and provided to health authorities upon request to allow for contact tracing should it be necessary. Upon official request, parent contact information will be provided.  
2. Information will ONLY be provided to government/health authorities, it will not be shared with coaches, staff, athletes or families.  Government/health authorities will contact individuals to relay any additional actions that must be taken. Because BAVA staff are not licensed medical experts, other than in direct cases of diagnosis, they will not implement additional mandatory quarantine of secondary or tertiary contacts. However, athletes/families/coaches are required to notify coaches if they are ordered to quarantine by a government or health authority; and that order must be adhered to by the athlete or coach.

Basic infection prevention measures are being implemented at all times. 

1. Upon arrival to the facility, all individuals, coaches and athletes, are required to clean their hands with hand sanitizer.  
2. Hand sanitizer will be available on the court.

Just a reminder of basic respiratory etiquette while attending private lessons.

1. Mask should be worn at all times when at arriving and departing practice. It is still recommended, however, that you cough or sneeze into your practice shirt to reduce any possible initial viral spread.  
2. Avoid touching your face, in particular mouth, nose and eyes, with your hands. If you do touch your face, cough or sneeze into your arm or shoulder you are required to immediately leave the space and re-wash your hands/arms.   
3. Dispose of tissues in the trash and wash or disinfect hands immediately afterward. 

Housekeeping practices are being implemented, including routine cleaning and disinfecting of all training equipment. We will disinfect all volleyballs before and after each practice.

This COVID-19 Safety Procedures and Preparedness Plan was created following guidelines put forth by the CDC and WHO, as well as Maryland State and Anne Arundel County. Additional communication and training will be ongoing, and updates provided to all athletes and families.
