Lower Risk sportsExamples: Individual running events and cross country, individual swimming and golf, among others.
Moderate Risk sportsExamples: Basketball, volleyball, baseball, softball, soccer, gymnastics, ice hockey, field hockey, tennis, swimming relays and girls lacrosse.
Higher Risk sportsExamples: Wrestling, football, boys lacrosse, competitive cheer and dance are considered Higher Risk.
Here is the breakdown of the three phases:
Phase 1
The NFHS recommends zero equipment sharing and other shared equipment, such as balls, should be properly cleaned after each usage. Balls should not be passed between athletes, and students should remain six feet apart. Gatherings of no more than 10 people are required and locker rooms will remain closed.
Phase 2
This allows up to 50 people to gather outdoors and 10 people indoors with social distancing for workouts. Locker rooms can reopen at this stage.
All participants will have to be screened for symptoms prior to practices or workouts in the first two phases.
At this point, Lower Risk sports will be allowed to resume. Modified practices for Moderate Risk sports can begin.
