On Tuesday, October 6, Ventura County moved into the RED Tier on the State of California's Blueprint for a Safer Economy.  As a result, CVUSD will continue providing Co-Curricular programs and activities and transition into Phase 2 of our safety protocols structure. Participation in the Co-Curricular program through CVUSD is voluntary and, as such, the following protocols are required for compliance.                  

Outdoor Activity
*Up to 50 individuals may gather for outdoor workouts. (Note: This has recently been adjusted to 15 student-athletes).
*Students remain in pods fifty (50) students and multiple staff members; same group of students working out together through Phase 2 to limit overall exposure. (Note: This has recently been adjusted to 15 student-athletes).

Indoor Activity
*Currently, indoor workouts are not permitted and will only be allowed if Ventura County Public Health (VCPH) permits. (When the indoor restrictions are relaxed, gyms will be limited to participants maintaining at least 12 feet apart with masks required).
*Weight room access for small groups of no more than 10 participants only if Ventura County permits as mentioned above.

Pool Use/Activity
*No more than 12 participants within a pod, with a maximum of 2 pods at a given time will be allowed to access the pool for workouts and activities. (Note: This has recently been adjusted to 15 student-athletes).

SCREENING
*We are following the development of COVID-19 very closely, and in the interest of ensuring a safe and healthy work environment, we ask that each student and family conduct a self-assessment at home prior to each scheduled practice. Temperature checks and symptom screenings must be conducted for all CVUSD staff and students prior to participating in a practice, workout, and/or gathering.
*A staff member assigned to the pod will be responsible for taking temperatures.
*Each staff member and student must have a temperature reading of 99.4 degrees or lower prior to participating in a practice, workout, rehearsal, and/or gathering.
*Symptom screening includes, but not limited to, asking about any symptoms and/or exposure to someone testing positive in the last 14 days.
*Symptoms include fever, chills, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, new loss of taste or smell, cough, congestion or runny nose, headache, nausea or vomiting, diarrhea or sore throat. o Staff will not log individual temperatures. A log for staff members that indicates the wellness check was completed is required.
*The staff member assigned to the pod will communicate to head coach & site administration any student who does not meet the screening participation requirements (body temperature of 99.4 degrees or less).
*Students who fail to meet participation requirements as listed above must follow CVUSD protocols for an individual who is sick or has symptoms of the COVID-19 virus, or who has been exposed to someone who has tested positive of COVID-19.

EQUIPMENT
*A Maximum number of 2 participants are allowed in a drill/activity involving a ball. (Note: This has recently been adjusted for multiple student-athletes to share a ball within the same POD).
*Throwing or kicking a ball with a partner is permissible so long as the pair is consistent, not a group activity. (Note: This has recently been adjusted for multiple student-athletes to share a ball within the same POD).  
*If a ball is shared between a pair, the ball must be disinfected prior to another pair using the same item.
*Each participant (player, spirit leader, etc.) shall bring and use their own equipment only. Please note: current orders prohibit Band and Choir activities from taking place live and in-person.
