In response to the current national health crisis and in conjunction with local, state, and federal health and governmental policies, West Shore Minors (WSM), has adopted the following recommended safety protocols, for players, coaches, and spectators.
It is recognized that participation by all individuals, players, coaches, officials, volunteers, parents, spectators is fully a voluntary act. These guidelines have been developed in accordance with Governor Wolf’s “Guidance for All Sports Permitted to Operate During the COVID-19 Disaster Emergency to Ensure the Safety and Health of Employees, Athletes and the Public” (Gov), CDC’s “Consideration for Youth Sports” (CDC) and West Shore Minors (WSM) guidelines.
It is the responsibility of all participants to self-regulate and self-monitor with respect to the safety guidelines provided in order to protect not only themselves but others. The recommendations and guidelines employed by WSM is intended to provide a framework by which we can minimize the risk of COVID-19 in order to provide the players with the benefits of youth sports.
Any individual who has concerns that the implementation of the guidelines is not satisfactory for them and/or their child are encouraged to take respectful steps to address the concern, reach out to appropriate WSM officials and/or remove themselves and their player from an environment they feel is unsafe.
Thanks,
