VOLUNTARY WORKOUT PROTOCOL FOR BASKETBALL
The below guidelines and steps will be followed by the men's and women's basketball programs in regards to voluntary workouts on campus in Dacotah Hall and Wachs Arena. Efforts will be made by coaches and staff to limit the use of a dummy or sled to one student-athlete per contact area as much as possible. If multiple contact areas are used in a single drill, the equipment will be cleaned between athletes. If it is not possible to clean equipment after every athlete contact, each athlete will be asked use hand sanitizer/wash their hands between each drill. For all ball sports, the ball itself will be cleaned during the workout – before, during and after, preferably every 10-15 minutes or after times of significant contact with bodily fluids (e.g., if the ball is touched by someone’s sweaty body, sneezes, etc.).
- Each student-athlete will have their own basketball at each workout session
- Wipes will be provided to clean all basketballs in use
- Floors will be swept between workouts by members of the coaching staff
- Coaches and student-athletes will be required to wear masks throughout the duration of the workout
- Student-athletes and coaches will all enter through one door and exit through the other door
- Coaches will wipe down doors after each entry and exit (for inside use)
