Bearcat NewsfeedWhat will it take to have sports and extracurricular activities this year at Northeast R-IV Middle & High School?A LOT. Student-athletes are going to have to limit their exposure to COVID-19 starting now!
Student-athletes are going to have to take proactive steps, beginning today, to limit their contact with COVID-19. This means they need to increase their vigilance for social distancing and face coverings. They also need to avoid large gatherings where these practices are not being followed. Why are these practices important? Because these are the MSHSAA recommendations that everyone will need to follow to be able to participate in athletics. As an example, assume one of our student-athletes contracts COVID-19. That player will become immediately ineligible for 14 days after symptoms were presented. Any other player who was not practicing preventative measures at practices or contests and who had close contact with the player with COVID-19 in the 48 hours prior to diagnosis or symptoms will also become ineligible for 14 days. In addition to the 14-day ineligibility period, any athlete testing positive will be required to work through a minimum 7-day re-conditioning protocol before being allowed to return to full practices and competition. If a large number of participants do not follow the MSHSAA recommendations, then the entire team may lose out on regular season and post-season contests. This could also include opponents from other schools we compete against. There could be a large domino effect if teams see COVID-19 cases during the season. Why are we putting this information out there now? It is important for our athletes to read through the MSHSAA recommendations and make sure they understand them. A link to them is below. Our players should begin following the recommendations as soon as possible so as not to interrupt the approaching school athletic seasons. Our requirements for fall sports will include but not limited to- school providing & requiring face masks in dugouts, on bus trips or other times when social distancing is not possible; limiting the number of athletes in the dugout; athletes being responsible for their own water bottles; temperatures taken before all practices & contests for our players/coaches & those from other schools; use of personal equipment only; sanitizing that equipment when necessary; hand sanitizer stations at all dugouts & concession stand areas; taking separate buses for competitions with multiple teams competing. Please make sure to share this information with your student and stress that pre-season practices begin in less than 2 weeks. August 10th for fall high school sports & August 17th for fall middle school sports. Take steps today to help prevent the spread of COVID-19!
