This week we gained more clarity from state and health officials. With this, we have adjusted our anticipated tournament schedule accordingly. We will continue to monitor the latest news about COVID-19 closely and are making decisions based off of organization and government recommendations.
While all of us are excited to get back onto the courts, the safety of all those who attend Premier Basketball events has and will always be our top priority. We will only operate events if it is absolutely safe to do so for all participants and team supporters.
SAFETY GUIDELINESWe are in close consultation and taking guidance from the CDC and local, state, and federal health officials to determine the most effective safety guidelines for each upcoming event. These guidelines may vary from event to event based on the specific timing and location of each event.
Two weeks prior to the start of the event, we will be sending the safety protocols and guidelines that each participant, official, staff and spectator will be required to follow. At the very least, we anticipate the below safety precautions.- While we are excited about returning to the courts as quickly as possible, we are taking every available precaution to ensure our venues are as safe as possible. All protocols will be continuously updated in accordance with guidelines from the CDC and state/local officials.
- Sanitation stations will be located throughout the facilities
- All staff and referees will be screened before entry into events
- There will be a buffer in-between games for staff to clear and clean the space before the next teams enter
- In coordination with each facility, additional cleaning will take place throughout the day
- In coordination with each facility, additional cleaning will take place at the conclusion of each day
- The number of entrants allowed into each facility will be subject to the guidelines from the CDC and state/local officials
- Tournament schedules will include game and team/spectator arrival times
- There will be no handshake or high-five lines at the conclusion of games
- All game balls will be sanitized before and after each game
- Premier Basketball highly encourages all individuals considered at-risk to stay home.
