SCAA COVID-19 SAFETY GUIDELINES
2021 Spring SCAA
COVID-19 Safety Guidelines
SCAA Members:
We have been contacted twice in the past week by the Chesapeake Health Department about member complaints concerning our adherence to the State’s Executive Order 72 (COVID-19 requirements). We anticipate that the Health Department will be at our facility this week to inspect our operations. We are at risk of having our season suspended due to non-compliance, so we need your commitment to complying with the requirements. Our kids really need to be playing baseball and softball right now, more than ever before. Please comply with the requirements for our kids’ sake. The guidelines that we must adhere to are as follows:
- Coaches are required to wear masks and have them cover their face and nose when they are within 6 feet of any player, coach, parent, or official.
- Spectators over 5 years of age are required to wear masks and have them cover their face and nose when they are within 6 feet of any person who is not a family member.
- All members are required to perform self-screening for COVID-19 symptoms prior to arriving at the SCAA facility or any ancillary facility that is used by SCAA.
- Any member who is experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 or has been in contact with any person that has tested positive for COVID-19 shall not enter the SCAA complex or any ancillary facility that is used by SCAA.
- Any member who has come in contact with a person that has tested positive for COVID-19 should immediately notify the Team Manager so that appropriate actions can be taken regarding the exposure.
- For a complete listing of the specific requirements and exceptions to those requirement, the following link will take you to State Executive Order #72. SCAA falls under Section 13, Recreational Sports.

We look forward to the day we can return to normal and appreciate your commitment and patience until doing so.
