Big Apple Kickball - Week 1

Before we begin our first week of Big Apple Kickball, we want to review the basics.

See the bottom of this email for information about our Virtual Town Hall.

What to bring:

• At least one mask (we recommend bringing a backup).

  • Remember: NO bandanas, neck gaiters, single-ply cloth, or masks with vents.

• Sneakers or athletic Shoes

  • No metal cleats allowed. Turf shoes or rubber cleats are acceptable.

Safety Requirements:

• Online Health Screening

  • On Saturday, before arriving to the field, fill out the health screening questionnaire.

  • Use the same email you registered with.

• Arrival & Departure

  • Arrive onto the field no more than 5 minutes prior to your scheduled game.

  • Leave the field immediately after your games.

• Social Distancing

  • Maintain 6 feet between you and all other people… even your teammates.

  • While on the sidelines, stand on one of the designated distancing markers.

  • Avoid other groups and teams.

  • Avoid physical contact — no hugs, no high fives.

• Hygiene:

  • Use the hand sanitizer in your dugout after touching shared equipment.

  • Do not touch your face or eyes.

  • Keep your mask on at all times.

For this season, we ask for your extra cooperation:

• No team gatherings*

  • We ask that this season players only meet up at their scheduled games.

  • Please continue to socialize through social media, email, and group messaging.

• No post-play parties

  • We are unable to offer post-play parties this season.

  • Please do not organize your own post-play parties.

We can only continue to offer this league if players help us maintain our promise to our players, our community, and the city. Without these guidelines, we will be unable to offer Big Apple Kickball.

As always, we are closely monitoring health recommendations and our current position on team gatherings may change in the future.

If you feel unable or are unwilling to adhere to these policies, please email info@bigapplerecsports.com before Friday, March 26 at 6:00 pm to inform us. Your registration will be canceled and you will be offered a full refund.
