June 11th 2020 - Coach Kehler Update:

This is Greg Kehler and I want to get a note out about the boy's summer fitness. This is coming out very late due to the ever changing rules due to the pandemic. First, I hope all of you and your families have been healthy and safe during this trying time.

We will be starting our fitness sessions June 12th at 9:00 AM at the Grand Blanc High School track. If the boy's can't make it on June 12th, no problem, since this is getting out so late.

Here is what the players will need to bring with them:

• Water Bottle
• Mask - Not required when engaging in fitness but must be worn when they arrive
• Hand sanitizer - We'll try to have a big bottle as well

What we will do every fitness session:

• Check-in each player
• Check Temperature - If 100.3 or above, will be asked to go back home
• Covid questionnaire - 5 question (Yes/No); If answer is yes to any question, player may not participate

** Mike Katz, our trainer will be onsite tomorrow to discuss all the guidelines

Schedule: (Time will be from 9:00 am - 10:15am)

• Friday, June 12
• Tuesday, June 16
• Thursday, June 18
• Monday, June 22
• Thursday, June 25

Plan is to take the July 4th week off and continue back on the week of July 7th

I will also speak to the boy's tomorrow about captains practices which is something we've done for years. My take right now is to wait until July 8. The reason for this date is that the summer league is scheduled to start then and run to July 31st.

Again, these sessions are not mandatory but recommended. I know with everyone being isolated for so long, everyone is looking forward to getting back into a new normal routine taking vacations and such.

Thanks,

Greg Kehler

June 3rd 2020 - Jerrod Dohm (GB Athletic Director ) Update:

We have been approved to begin out of season summer activities beginning Friday, June 12th. No out of season summer activities can begin until June 12th. Coaches MUST follow the “modified step 2” guidelines in the MHSAA document Link to guidelines. Please read the entire document carefully. You will find sport specific information in the document.

Some key points of emphasis…

• Only outdoor activities can resume. Indoor facilities remain closed. Gatherings must be of 100 people or less and social distancing of 6 ft must be followed.
• Coaches and student athletes must wear masks. Athletes can remove their masks when conditioning or doing aerobic exercise.
• We MUST keep proper records and use the athlete attendance/monitoring form: Link to Form. If an athlete answers yes to any of the questions on the form, or has a temperature above 100.3, they are not allowed to practice and must be sent home. Please notify their parents that they are returning home. Coaches must also complete the attendance/monitoring form. We have touchless thermometers that we will bring to your workouts. Attendance/monitoring forms need to be turned in after every gathering. These can be scanned and emailed to me.
• Equipment used during workouts needs to be disinfected intermittently per the MHSAA guidelines. We have multi-surface cleaner and disinfectant in the athletic office. Athletes need to bring their own hand-sanitizer.
• Athletes need to bring their own water, food, and towels. Sharing of water, food, and towels is not permitted. Water will not be provided.
• Inform your players that if they test positive for Covid-19 they need to notify Mike Katz, Athletic Trainer (248-807-1637), and the Athletic Department (810-591-4301). Their name will remain confidential. This will allow us to pull your attendance records and notify those individuals who may have been exposed.

June 3rd 2020 - Sally Piggot (Office of the AD) Update:

• Pre-participation Physical Evaluation - Due to concerns regarding access to primary care providers during the late spring and early summer, the MHSAA will allow a one-year extension of a previous year’s physical on file, with the utilization of an MHSAA Sports Health Questionnaire to be completed by athletes and parents. Link to form.
• Incoming 9th graders from GB Middle Schools - The Athletics Department will obtain your physical form from your middle school if you had one on file.
• New to Grand Blanc - If you had an MHSAA sports physical on file at your previous school, please ask them to scan and email: spiggott@gbcs.org
