COVID-19 SPORTS PRACTICE GUIDANCE FOR YOUTH AND ADULTS <br />Outdoors is safer than indoors. <br />If indoors, minimize the time spent indoors, as risk of transmission increases with the more time <br />spent indoors. Consider keeping indoor practices to 30 minutes or less. <br />Avoid using locker rooms and facility showers. <br />Carpooling should be discouraged as much as possible. <br />Requirements for holding games, scrimmages, and <br />competitions <br />Spectator requirements <br />V The total number of spectators at games must comply with the appropriate venue guidance and <br />capacity limits (see "Follow guidance for the event setting" section above). <br />Strongly consider limiting spectators to one to two people per participant to minimize <br />transmission and to comply with applicable venue guidance and capacity limits. <br />Require reservations and/or ticketing (e.g., online, app-based, email, will -call) according to the <br />requirements applicable to entertainment venues (https://staysafe.mn.gov/industry- <br />guidance/entertainment.isp). <br />Names, phone number, and/or email should be collected as part of the reservations so that <br />quick notification can be done if an individual develops COVID-19. <br />Spectator recommendations <br />✓ Schedule arrival times for longer than their typical duration to minimize the congregation of patrons <br />waiting. Establish staggered admission or entry times and durations to minimize overlap and <br />congregating of patrons at choke points (e.g., access points, security check points, admission areas, <br />concession areas). <br />Number of participants allowed <br />V During a game, scrimmages, or competitions (played indoors or outdoors): <br />The number of participants allowed can include all of the people needed to make up the team. <br />A team is defined as the total number of players/athletes, coaches, referees, umpires, etc. <br />needed to hold the game or competition as long as the total number of people does not exceed <br />the total number allowed by the venue or facility (check capacity limits). This includes cross <br />country and track teams. <br />v During a cross country or track event: <br />The "course maximum" —meaning the number of people allowed on the course at one time is <br />the total square footage of the course divided by 113. <br />Participants must be divided into completely separated participant groups to ensure that the <br />number of participants on the course at one time never exceeds the course maximum. <br />9of18 <br />
