ARAA Covid-19 Protocols- August 23, 2022

If you are sick, stay home! It is okay to be sick. It is okay to rest. Missing practice or a game because you are sick will not impact future playing time. 

 This is youth sports – health is more important than any individual practice or game.

ALL policies below are the same, regardless of vaccination status.

o   Stay home, rest up, drink lots of water, and follow medical advice

If you are exposed to COVID from someone who does not live in your home

o   You may continue to come to sports
