NCSAA Coronavirus Update & Survey

​We wanted to give a quick update and then ask a favor.  

Unfortunately, we have no real news to pass along.  Much like most of the country, we're waiting to see what the next steps are?  We will be following a couple things closely:  

1. When & if schools return to session - can we play a shortened season in a compact amount of time?
2. If school returns is it responsible to play at all?  

We don't have those answers today.  We probably won't have those answers for a few more weeks.  We are not going to speculate during that time though.  We'll let things play out and then reassess at that time.  A few parents may be emailing you asking for updates -- just explain that we don't have any.  I would not refund any money at this time -- as there is still a small chance we return and play. 

NOW... for the favor...

Regardless of how the Spring Season unfolds we have to start planning for the 2020-2021 School Year.  In doing so we need to figure out what rules worked and what needs to be reworked.  This survey is a brief 4 question survey that should only take you a few minutes.  Every coach of any sport is welcome to submit answers.  The more feedback the better.  We will not take your answers personally or be offended by them.  We may, however, reach out at some point to ask for clarification or discuss.  We ask that you keep your answers to be about the written rules and not about the officials. We'd love a response by Tuesday, April 7th.

We would like to reiterate everyday preventive actions that should be taken:

• Practice Social Distancing.  
• Assume you're infected already.  This is not a time to hangout with friends.
• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
• Stay home when you are sick.
• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
• If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Always wash hands with soap and water when hands are visibly dirty.
