Updated All Sports Policy, The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH)updated its All Sports Policy Aug. 10 to align with Executive Order 2021-18. It s an expansion of the executive order mandates and expressly applies to“ school-based sports (high school and elementary school), travel clubs, private leagues and clubs, recreational leagues and centers, and park district sports programs” (emphasis added). The updated policy does not apply to “adult recreational sports, professional sports leagues, or college level division sports.”
The updated All Sports Policy requires face coverings:
For participants in all indoor sports, regardless of vaccination status, over the age of 2 through 12th grade, who can medically tolerate a face covering(although note the caveat for choking/visual obstruction hazards in the last bullet of the next section).
This specifically includes competitions, training, active exercise, sitting on sideline or bench, in the locker room, during team meetings, weight room activities, while bussing or car sharing, or during meals.
Mandatory Masking - The governor has placed the entire state of Illinois under a mandatory mask mandate effective Aug. 30, 2021. This mandate requires all individuals over the age of 2, regardless of vaccination status, to wear a mask in indoor public settings for the indefinite future.
Signs have been posted at all facilities and staff are requesting compliance.

*** Patrons may sign up for two sessions per day.  They will however need to leave the interior facility for the 30 minute break between sessions in order for us to sanitize.  We will have the side window to the concession open for business during this time

During Phase 4, swimming facilities licensed by IDPH can open to a maximum 50 percent capacity. Operators, employees, and customers should wear face coverings when not engaged in swimming activities. Operators, employees, and customers should frequently wash their hands or use hand sanitizer containing at least 60 percent alcohol. Operators, employees, and customers should adhere to social distancing where applicable.

Operators should limit group sizes to no more than 50 people, allowing for social distancing where possible. However, multiple groups of up to 50 people may be permitted if facilities allow for social distancing of guests and employees; 30 feet of distancing is maintained between groups; and areas for each group are clearly marked to discourage interaction between groups.

Operators should make employee and customer temperature checks required upon entry to the facility, and at mid-shift screen employees to ensure the absence of COVID-19 symptoms.
