Preventative Measures

· Most importantly, if you have a respiratory illness or fever, please stay home.

· Avoid contact with sick people (if you’re sick, limit contact with others).

· Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands.

· Cover your nose and mouth with something disposable (like a tissue) when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.

· Clean frequently touched items (cell phones, airplane seating area -tray table, screens, windows, arm rests, air vents, etc.).

· Clean your hands often by washing them with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at 60%–95% alcohol. Soap and water should be used if hands are visibly dirty.

· It is especially important to clean hands after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after coughing, sneezing or blowing your nose.

· Bring extra hand sanitizer with you to all events.

The below is our plan in preparation for indoor activities. Governor Abbott addressed Texas this past week and has said that gyms and training facilities may re-open May 18. We will abide by his process to Open Texas. Until social distancing bands are lifted, we are not planning to run normal team practices or participating tournaments. For now, we will only be running training clinics and lessons as we must stay at or below 25% occupancy of the Infinity Sports Center / Infinity Volleyball Club. If a coach would like to work with his/her team in groups of 4-6, they will need to schedule a time for this. Feel free to contact me if you have questions. If any practices do take place, we will provide a sign up link for everyone on that team as we will need to keep track of who is in the gym and at what time and how many are participating. Everyone, Coaches, Athletes, Parents, and Siblings will be REQUIRED to sign the COVID-19 Waiver.

What is the Infinity Sports Center / Infinity Volleyball Club doing to stop the spread?
Below are the Infinity Sports Center / Infinity Volleyball Club Policies for May and June. We will continue to re-evaluate our procedures

§ Operate at a reduced capacity as recommended by local officials.

§ Be in compliance with CDC guidelines to help stop the spread.

§ Facility Staff will check everyone’s temperature immediately upon entering the facility. We have three (2) non-contact infrared body thermometers. If we receive a reading above 100.4 degrees, we will check temperature again using the same thermometer and a 2nd thermometer. If we receive two (2) readings of 100.4 degrees that person will not be allowed to inside our facility or participate in events.

§ Infinity Sports Center / Infinity Volleyball Club Staff will collect all lesson fees at the by electronic payment. We want to reduce the items handed off to our coaches.

§ Coaches are required to wash hands between each session (lesson, clinic, practice, etc).

§ We will schedule a buffer time between sessions to allow time to disinfect the volleyballs

§ Facility staff is there to remind and ensure facility policies are being followed. Facility staff is advised to report all infractions s to us. We will not allow athletes to sign up for events or participate in practices if they or their family members do not comply with our policies.
