Beginning tomorrow, June 9th, we will be starting our summer conditioning program for any athlete participating in our sports programs. These workouts will take place each Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings in June from 8-9:15 a.m. at the football fields/ track at Erie and Prophetstown. Please note that at this time no sport specific skills or technique are allowed per the IHSA. Our coaching staff has done a great job selecting and creating a program that will benefit all sports.
Below you will find the rules that you must follow in order participate:
1- Masks do not have to be worn outside unless you are unable to maintain a minimum 6' of social distancing.
2- All groups will consist of 10 people or less. Athletes will be grouped upon arrival and these groups will be permanent. No athlete will be allowed to switch groups at a later time. Once groups are created they will not interact with any other grouping.
3- All athletes must remain in their car upon arrival and wait there until the coaching staff is ready for your group. We must maintain social distancing and avoid congregating before 8 a.m. in the parking lots. Upon completion of workouts, all athletes must immediately leave the premises.
4- All athletes must be symptom free in order to participate. This means if you are experiencing a fever, chills, cough, muscle aches, headache, sore throat, runny nose, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or loss of taste or smell, you must stay home. You will have your temperature checked prior to participating each day.
5- You must bring your own water-bottle. I would suggest putting your name on it so there is no accidental sharing. Use of locker rooms, shared coolers, and water fountains are prohibited at this time.
Additionally, upon arrival on the first day of your workouts you will be provided a copy of the IHSA Stage 1 Return to Play document. You must sign that you have received this document and agree that you will follow the guidelines to participate.
