The Governor’s Office and OHA posted new Statewide Freeze Guidance for K-12 School Sports late Tuesday.  Per the Governor’s Executive Order 20-65, the freeze is effective Wednesday, November 18 through Wednesday, December 2 but could be extended.

 We encourage you to read through the six-page document but here are the key takeaways:

• Prohibition on all K-12 School Sports indoors, including conditioning, training and competition.
• Outdoor training, conditioning and competition is still allowed for non-contact and minimal/medium contact sports for schools utilizing On-Site, Hybrid, or Comprehensive Distance Learning.
• Outdoor training and conditioning is still allowed for full-contact sports for schools utilizing On-Site, Hybrid, or Comprehensive Distance Learning provided they don’t include full contact of any kind.
• Mask/face coverings must be worn when actively participating in an outdoor sport.
• Closure of indoor and outdoor swimming pools, licensed spa pools and indoor sport courts.
• Limit the maximum capacity for each outdoor K-12 school sporting event to 50 people.  Maintain physical distancing of at least six (6) feet per person.
