THE NEW 2020 JUAN ROMERO BASEBALL CAMP GUIDELINES
- The goal of the JRBC is to try and keep everyone healthy by reducing interpersonal contact to limit the potential exposure to the COVID-19. Our biggest concern will always be the safety of your child and that of our staff. For that reason, we will implement the following guidelines:
- Parents/Guardians will check the temperature of each camper at home before coming to camp daily. Should a camper have a fever of 100 F or above, he/she will stay home and Coach Romero will be notified immediately at 239-248-3606 (cell).
- We strongly recommend that campers bring sanitizers to camp daily.
- All personal equipment, including bags and hats, must have full name on them.
- Baseballs-Each group of nine or fewer will have a bucket of balls assigned to them.
- Family members may visit the camp. However, you must maintain the six ft. rule and bring your own chairs since the campers will need all the available bleacher space for their equipment and for social distancing to start and to finish the day.
- All campers and coaches must wash hands approximately every 30 minutes. Face masks are encouraged, but are not mandatory.
- Coaches will disinfect restroom door handles approximately every 30 minutes.
- Groups of ten or fewer will maintain social distancing during: instruction, water breaks, restroom use, batting cage areas, and games (no tags allowed). Of course, games will have two teams with nine or fewer players per side. Dugouts will be limited to ten campers inside.
- Campers check in upon arrival with Carolyn Casserly and sit in the designated bleachers by groups. Equipment remains in designated area unless being used and NO sunflower seeds will be allowed in the facilities.
- Campers DO NOT touch the ball in the cage area; only the coaches.
- Campers bring their own bats, gloves, helmets, hats, etc. and never share personal items, including water bottles.
- Parent or legal guardian must sign a special waiver holding harmless the Juan Romero Baseball camp, the JRBC Director, the JRBC coaches and staff, for any potential contagious disease acquired while participating in a JRBC event before camper is allowed to participate in any summer or winter camp in 2020.
