The University Interscholastic League (UIL) announced updated guidelines Wednesday for both strength and conditioning workouts and sports-specific activities that are set to re-open across the state on July 13.
Face coverings, including face masks, cloth face coverings or full-face shields, will be required in areas that UIL activities are being conducted and when not exercising in accordance with Executive Order GA-29. For example, schools may allow students who are actively exercising to remove face coverings but must require attendants to wear them until they are in positions that maintain a safe distancing.
Screening for COVID-19 symptoms before workouts will continue to be required. Strength and conditioning sessions can last two consecutive hours at a maximum and students cannot attend more than one session per day. Attendance will be recorded, but participants will not be required or allowed to make up for missed days.
