LYF 2020 FLAG ACTIVITY SPECIFIC RISK MITIGATION CONSIDERATIONS

COVID-19 risk mitigation considerations for Lawrence Youth Football (LYF) are detailed in this document. These considerations are based on the general pillars detailed in the KSHSAA Return to Activities document for Fall Sports. 

The risk of coronavirus transmission will still be present to some degree if LYF activities begin. All administrators, coaches, officials, support personnel, participants, their families must recognize these risks and implement best practices to reasonably mitigate these risks. Participation in LYF is voluntary and every individual will need to evaluate the risk versus the benefits of activity participation. Any immunocompromised person. or those who live with family members with elevated health concerns, should evaluate associated risks of participation and may choose not to participate.

GAME - FOOTBALL RULE CONSIDERATIONS:

❖ TEAM BOX

• The team box may be extended on both sides of the field (for players only) to provide more social distancing space for the team.
• The team box area will be marked off and restricted to team and game administration personnel only to eliminate any spectators from being in or behind this area.
• Always maintain social distancing of 6 feet while in the team box.
• Do not share uniforms, towels and other apparel and equipment.
• Spectators will watch from the endzone areas.

❖ FACE MASKS / FACE COVERINGS

• Face coverings are required to be worn directly over the mouth and nose. 
• If at any time during the game, a face covering becomes damaged or does not function as designed, then the individual player should be sent out for a minimum of one play to remedy the issue. If the individual can remedy the issue, without delay, then they can stay on the field, just like a helmet coming unsnapped.
• Fans and spectators will be required to wear masks.

❖ TOOTH AND MOUTH PROTECTORS

• Tooth and mouth protectors should be cleaned and sanitized after each practice and competition.
• Should never be shared
• Should be handled as few times as possible with your hands. Keep them in your mouth.

❖ CHARGED TIME-OUTS & AUTHORIZED CONFERENCES

• All charged time-outs will be extended to one and one half minutes in length. This is to facilitate proper individual hydration getting individual water bottles to players and for coaching. Per rule, play may resume earlier if both teams are ready for play.
• The authorized conference for charged time-outs should take place on the field between the sideline and hash marks and not on the sideline for social distancing purposes. It will be permissible for more than one coach to be involved in these conferences.
• Each game official, player and coach should have their own beverage container (water bottle) brought out to them on the field. The league will develop a system to provide water to officials.
