We will utilize the NCAA resocialization of sport guidelines, which call for a three-phased return to sports activity.
In Phase I, workout/practice groups will be limited to 10 people (including coaches), social distancing will be adhered to, masks/face coverings will be worn when distancing cannot be maintained, equipment will not be shared among players, and training sessions will focus on individual skill work and conditioning.
In Phase II, workout/practice groups may increase in size, distancing will be adhered to, equipment may be shared among team members, and training sessions will include organized group activities. Masks/face coverings will be worn based upon current state and college guidelines when distancing cannot be maintained.
Phase III, which we may not fully enter during the fall semester, allows for larger groups, shared use of equipment, organized group activities and competition. Our athletic training staff will work with coaches and student-athletes to put enhanced personal hygiene and equipment cleaning practices in place. Small group and individual meetings will take place online or outdoors during Phase I and II. Meetings will comply with campus guidelines when indoor meetings begin during Phase III.
.........
At this time practice and competition rules will remain the same for all sports.
......
When Massachusetts enters Phase III, we can increase the use of indoor facilities. All teams will be subject to NCAA resocialization protocols, meaning beginning in small groups and progressing through phases.
.....
Spaces will be reopened in line with state guidelines, starting with outdoor spaces and followed by the largest indoor spaces, then smaller more equipment heavy rooms and lastly locker rooms. Not all athletic spaces will be operational when you first return to campus, and for many of these spaces there will be new protocols to follow, such as scheduling based use, cleaning requirements and capacity limitations.

......
Will student-athletes have access to Athletic Training services?
Yes, but access and services will be limited. All visits will require an appointment, and overall volume will be kept to a minimum. Daily pre/post-activity treatments such as e-stim, hot packs and whirlpools will be suspended. Regular athletic taping procedures will be replaced with reusable braces. Injury evaluation and referral services will continue to be available while, whenever possible, rehabilitation guidance will shift toward athletic trainer designed "self-help" care. Social distancing, masking and hand-washing requirements will be strictly enforced.
......
As outlined in the NCAA Resocialization of Sport document, specific underlying medical conditions such as moderate to severe asthma, immunocompromised status, severe obesity, diabetes or additional heart, lung, kidney or liver disease have all been identified as conditions that may place an individual into a higher-risk category. It is recommended that individuals with increased risk factors refrain from participation in the early stages of organized athletic activity. The presence of increased risk factors may require additional documentation from your primary physician, and all final participation clearances are at the discretion of the health care providers at the college.
