Vaccination Status

·      Vaccination is the best way to protect against COVID-19. The COVID-19 vaccines are safe, effective,
and free to everyone, regardless of immigration status.

·      Having all athletes, coaches, support staff, and volunteers in your youth sports league fully vaccinated
will greatly decrease the risk of transmission of the virus among teammates and between teams. It will
also decrease disruption to the team if there is contact with a person with COVID-19 (see quarantine
below).

·      Talk with your child’s doctor about any concerns. Learn more at COVID-19 Vaccine Facts for Parents.
Anyone who is sick or under isolation or quarantine orders must stay home and will be
excluded from practice and games.

Screen for Symptoms and Isolate

·      Athletes, coaches, support staff, volunteers and spectators should check for symptoms before attending
any youth sports activity. Anyone who has a fever or other COVID-19 symptom should stay home. If a
person develops symptoms during practice or a game, they will be isolated from others and may be sent
home. For symptoms of COVID-19 see ph.lacounty.gov/covidcare. We will be checking temperatures b

·      If an athlete, coach, support staff, or volunteer is diagnosed with COVID-19, the Exposure Management
Plan will be followed. This includes testing everyone, regardless of vaccination status, for 2 weeks. The
person with COVID-19 must follow the isolation instructions at ph.lacounty.gov/covidisolation.

·      Fully vaccinated athletes who are exposed to someone with COVID-19 do not need to quarantine and
can continue to participate in the youth sport activity as long as they remain asymptomatic and continue
to test negative for COVID-19 diagnosis. 

 Masks are required indoors.

·       Everyone (including athletes, coaches, support staff, volunteers, and spectators) must wear a mask
indoors, regardless of their vaccination status or the COVID-19 risk level of the sport. Indoors includes in
locker rooms, weight rooms, and other indoor spaces.

·       In outdoor settings all coaches, staff, referees, volunteers and officials must wear a mask where distancing is not feasible and regardless of vaccine status.

·       Masks can be removed temporarily to eat or drink. When people are
actively eating or drinking, they should be encouraged to stay 6 feet away from others.

·       Masks are recommended in outdoor crowded spaces and places, including among spectators where
distancing is not practical or possible.

·       It is a good idea to bring more than one mask in case a mask gets wet or dirty. Any face mask that
becomes saturated with sweat should be changed immediately.
