Information
Pertaining to Winter Sports Tryouts and Season (2020-2021)
Hopefully this correspondence
finds you safe and healthy. The spread of the COVID-19 virus has caused
many changes and modifications in all aspects of life, and athletics is no
different. With the recent increase in cases in Cumberland Country, and
in particular Carlisle Area School District, a decision has been made to move
the start of our Winter Sports Tryouts from Friday,
November 20, 2020 to Tuesday, December 1, 2020. Each team will
practice in the same location as previously scheduled, but the date has now
changed. Please make the necessary arrangements for the new date.
In addition, the following
requirements are required for tryouts:
- INFOSNAP account completed prior to
participation in your son/daughter's first athletic season of the school
year. The athletic INFOSNAP form is different than the overall school form
but you will use the same InfoSnap username and password to logon to your
account.
- Physical exam (within 6 weeks of 1st
practice or after October 9, 2020) on PIAA form (Section 6)
- IMPACT Test (within 2 years of the 1st
practice date (November 20, 2020)
Feel free to send any missing paperwork to
Brandi Carpenter, ATC at [email protected]
Failure
to have all three requirements completed and turned in may result in your
athlete not being able to participate in the 1st
day of practice.
We also wanted to share two
(2) new requirements from the PA Department of Health:
Face
Coverings
Does the Order apply to
athletes and sports activities?
Yes. Everyone who participates in sport activities including coaches,
athletes/cheerleaders, and spectators must wear a face covering, such as a
mask, unless they fall under an exception in Section 3 of the Order.
Indoors: Coaches, athletes/cheerleaders, and
spectators must wear face coverings, when indoors and where another person or
persons who are not members of the individual's household are present in the
same space, irrespective of physical distance. This includes while actively
engaged in workouts, competition, and on the sidelines, etc.
Outdoors: Coaches, athletes/cheerleaders, and
spectators must wear face coverings when outdoors. This includes while actively
engaged in workouts, competition, on the sidelines, in the dugout, etc. If
sustained six-foot distancing can be maintained, face coverings may temporarily
be removed when outdoors.
Travel
Restrictions
Dr. Levine signed an order effective November 20, 2020 that any individual
“traveling into and returning to” Pennsylvania must produce a negative COVID-19
test result from a test administered within 72 hours of the travel into PA or
quarantine for 14 days. Therefore, any new student trying to register or any
current student/staff member that has traveled out of Pennsylvania on or after
November 20th must follow this order. https://www.governor.pa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/20201117-SOH-Travel-Mitigation-Order.pdf
(Update 11-18-2020)
Please
note: Any time the school or district changes the mode of education for
students, whether moving to a Tier 1 or Tier 3, information will be forthcoming
as to the effect on extra-curricular activities.
Thank you in advance for your understanding and adjustments that you may need
to make due to these changes. Our priority is to keep the students,
staff, and coaches safe at all times. Your attention to the
aforementioned requirements are much appreciated. Please feel free to
contact the coach if you have any questions regarding
practice -
