Guidance for All Sports Permitted to Operate During the COVID-19 Disaster Emergency to Ensure the Safety and Health of Employees, Athletes and the Public

GREEN PHASE: Re-Opening of Outdoor Athletic Areas

On Wednesday, June 10th, Gov. Wolf released updated guidelines for return to play protocols for athletics and sports.

The status of our facilities and uses of facilities have not changed.  In compliance with Governor Wolf, the CDC, and the PIAA, we are awaiting the approval of our district's pandemic safety plan by the SCASD Board of Directors.  We are not permitted to gather or hold informal workouts, open gyms, field play... until we get word from the board.  

To follow health and safety guidelines, we ask that you continue to:

• Do not use our playgrounds.
• Do not gather in groups larger than 25 people.
• Stay at least six feet from other individuals, even during conversations.
• Do not use the facilities if you are sick or medically vulnerable.
• Sanitize equipment, balls and supplies before and after use of the facilities.
• Organized youth or adult sports groups’ practices, large events, tournaments, or leagues are not permitted.
• Bring your own, cleaned water bottle.
• Do not share any water bottles or personal care items

We still need to be cautious and mindful of healthy practices as we use our facilities. We appreciate your cooperation with these guidelines so that we can all enjoy our community’s outdoor facilities as safely as possible.

Light up the Night

When: Wednesday, 5/20/20; 8:20pm - 8:40pm

What: A community-wide lighting of the outdoor facilities and venues

Where possible, illuminating the scoreboard displaying a score of 20-20 as well as 4th down and 19. 

Why: To recognize and honor not only the class of 2020, but also our local First Responders and medical providers working on the front line

Summer Activities Update

As Centre County moved into the yellow phase, some restrictions on work and social interaction have eased while others, such as closures of schools, remain in place.

Approaching summer, we continue to evaluate the possibility of SCASD summer activities that include learning experiences and athletics. We have been planning for these opportunities to occur; however, we’re in a holding pattern due to Governor Wolf’s pandemic mitigation order.   

At present, we are looking at the summer in June and July increments and plan to make a decision regarding June’s summer activities by Friday, May 22. We promise to keep you posted with any updates and are hopeful we’ll be able to provide summer experiences for our students.

Stay safe and well,

Chris Rosenblum
