Tyler Kennedy Training - Return to Play Plan

Tyler Kennedy Training adopted and approved a plan to minimize exposure to the risk of contracting or spreading COVID-19 while allowing players to return to the ice. 

While it is not possible to eliminate all risk of furthering the spread of COVID-19, Tyler Kennedy Training will take necessary precautions and comply with guidelines from the federal, state, and local governments, CDC, PA Dept of Health, as well as the NFHS, PIAA, and any PIHL rules to reduce the risks to students, coaches, and their families. As knowledge regarding COVID-19 is constantly changing, Tyler Kennedy Training reserves the right to adjust and implement precautionary methods as necessary to decrease the risk of exposure for our staff, players, and spectators. 

ITEMS OF EMPHASIS 
​
TYLER KENNEDY HOCKEY, Tyler Kennedy Training, Tyler Kennedy already encourages flexible attendance policies for sessions to account for the busy lives of our players. In this new environment we will encourage our coaches to provide added flexibility to ensure that any player experiencing symptoms or exposure to COVID-19 stays home without feeling pressure to attend any Tyler Kennedy Training classes, events, or games. 
 
Tyler Kennedy Training will comply with Allegheny County, state, and/or CDC guidelines regarding the wearing of masks while in ice rink facilities. The current guidelines as of August 6, 2020 state that all players, coaches, and spectators are required to wear a mask while inside ice rink facilities, including activities while on the ice, at least until restrictions are lifted. 
 
Attention to physical distancing will be required at all times with specific requirements described in TYLER KENNEDY HOCKEY, Tyler Kennedy Training, Tyler Kennedy COVID19 PROTOCOLS AND PROCEDURES form (below). 

We will encourage players to either partially or fully dress at home, a practice that was successfully implemented during Tyler Kennedy Hockey, Tyler Kennedy Training, and Tyler Kennedy sessions since July 2020. This was especially successful with younger players and we expect the practice to continue without issues. 
​
Tyler Kennedy Hockey, Tyler Kennedy Training, and Tyler Kennedy will work closely with the rink staff to develop and enforce capacity limits for locker rooms to maintain proper physical distancing. 

Players will be asked to bring their own pre-filled water bottles to sessions and will not be permitted to share with any other players. Further, any equipment sharing will be prohibited.
 
COVID-19 PROTOCOLS AND PROCEDURES addresses specific guidelines that prohibit hand-shaking or other unnecessary physical contact between players, coaches, officials or spectators at events. The document also addresses proper hygiene standards including hand washing, the use of hand-sanitizer and prohibiting activities that increase the risk of exposure to saliva. 

GUIDANCE FOR OUR COACHES AND VOLUNTEERS 

Coaches will be encouraged to create practice plans with steps to minimize exposures whenever possible. This will include limiting the number of coaches needed on the ice to manage players and drills during the session, in addition to modifying practice plans to include 7 5% of drills aimed at avoiding contact during the session. 

In the event that a player gets sick while participating in a Tyler Kennedy Hockey, Tyler Kennedy Training, and a Tyler Kennedy session, a coach will take steps to isolate them from the rest of the team without any physical contact. The players parents will be notified immediately and asked to remove the player from the facility. In the event of a subsequent positive or presumed positive case of COVID-19, local health officials will be notified, as will any players, coaches or officials who are known to have been in contact with the affected individual. 

With regard to parents and spectators permitted to enter the facility, Tyler Kennedy Hockey, Tyler Kennedy Training, and Tyler Kennedy will approach this from guidance of the rink but as of now, we will not allow parents and spectators to enter the Mt. Lebanon Recreation Center rink ( outside of extenuating circumstances) for any of Tyler Kennedy Training sessions.
 
Tyler Kennedy Hockey, Tyler Kennedy Training, and Tyler Kennedy will always comply with current Allegheny County and/or state guidelines regarding the number of participants allowed at events, in addition to any further attendance restrictions, entrance/exit or other guidelines required by the rinks. We anticipate these guidelines to change from time to time throughout the season and have communicated to our members to be prepared to adapt accordingly.
​
COMMUNICATION 

Communication will be a key element to the successful implementation of the plan. Tyler Kennedy Hockey, Tyler Kennedy Training, and Tyler Kennedy are committed to transparent and frequent communication with the players, the coaches, the families, and the staff at the rinks to ensure that we collectively create the safest environment possible while returning to the ice. 

COVID-19 questions or concerns will be directed to TylerKennedyTraining@gmail.com 

"COVID-19 Protocols and Procedures" will be emailed to all participants and must be acknowledged electronically by each family in the organization prior to their player(s) taking the ice.
