August 1, 2023 – Update

Vaccination and Boosting Encouragement: We strongly encourage all participants (athletes, companions, volunteers, interns, and staff) to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and to receive booster doses, where applicable. Vaccination and boosting play a critical role in safeguarding the health and resilience of our community.

Respect for Individual Choices: While we strongly encourage vaccinations and boosters, we also understand and respect individual choices regarding personal health decisions. All members of our community will continue to be welcomed and supported, regardless of vaccination status. We aim to foster an inclusive environment where everyone feels safe, valued, and respected.

Mask-Wearing Agreement: To ensure a safe environment for everyone, all participants agree to wear a mask IF requested by anyone they are working with. This practice is designed to provide an extra layer of protection for those who may have health concerns.

Daily Self-Health Check: To ensure the well-being of our community and to prevent the potential spread of illness, if you are not feeling well, please stay home and contact us to reschedule your lesson.
