Safety Precautions

  • Until further notice, we will have no physical contact
  • Every player will bring their own basketball and will not touch any other basketball
  • Players will not always be 6 feet apart, as this is not realistic, but we will do our best to keep distancing between players as much as possible
  • Each player will keep his bag/water in a separate location
    • We will encourage players to get water as often as they want in the heat
  • Please be sure that each player brings his own basketball and water bottle to every session
