BHS Athletics
BHS ATHLETICS UPDATE
Per the updated California Department of Public Health (CDPH) Guidelines for Youth Sports, which were released on Friday, February 19, 2021, all BHS teams may continue practices in accordance with the protocols set forth in these guidelines, which are set to take effect on Friday, February 26, 2021. Riverside County is currently in the Purple ("Widespread") Tier in California’s guide to reopening. In adherence to these current health guidelines, Beaumont USD and the BHS athletic department have developed the following summary of key points to consider for your student's participation. The BHS athletic department’s main priority is to ensure safe conditions for both students and staff during our athletic activities.
*If your student is showing COVID symptoms, or someone else in your home is sick, or there has been a "close contact" for your student with someone who is COVID positive, please inform the head coach and keep your student home. The athletic director will follow up with you to set a return date for your student, based on CDC/CDPH/RDPH guidelines.
*Important Points of Note/CDPH Summary:
1. All Athletic Clearance accounts are being reviewed for completion of all steps toward clearance. The most common reason for "Denied" status is an expired physical form, or the new COVID waiver still not being signed.
2. All sports have been assigned to potentially compete in a designated color tier per the aforementioned CDPH Guidelines. With the newest CDPH update, high contact, outdoors sports such as football and water polo may conduct athletic competitions if the following guidelines are met:
- Riverside County must reach an adjusted COVID case rate of 14 or less, and maintain or have the number fall further for a period of five (5) days to begin playing games.
- For football and water polo, all students and coaches would be required to receive an antigen or PCR test once per week with a negative result, in order to compete.
- District approval is required for the competition portion of the schedule to begin, and BUSD and BHS will adhere to all CDPH, as well as Riverside County DPH, as new information is set forth.
3. The current 2020-2021 CIF Sports Calendar outlines the current season of sports for Season 1 and Season 2. The actual schedule of competitions/games/races/meets/matches/contests is still to be determined as CDPH and RDPH give clearance. The only change to this original calendar is that boys volleyball has been moved to Season 2 this coming spring.
4. As directed by the Riverside Public Health Department to Riverside County schools, BHS students may NOT participate in more than one (1) sport at the same time. Students must select one (1) sport to play during the spring.
5. For students that would like to change from one team to another, students must notify their coaches and the athletic director, and EITHER a) sit out from their current sport for two (2) weeks before joining their new sport, OR b) sit out from their current sport for 48 hours, then take a COVID test and turn in a NEGATIVE result to the athletic director for clearance to join their new sport.

This new waiver has been added to your student's Athletic Clearance account. Please log in and acknowledge/electronically sign the waiver form there.
Participation Expectations/Self-Screening
- Practices will include fitness and conditioning drills, individual skill development and team skills in preparation for possible competition in each respective sport, in accordance with the updated CDPH Guidelines.

If a student-athlete has difficulty breathing at any time, the student-athlete can take a break from the activity and remove themselves from their cohort until they are ready to continue. During vigorous exercises, face coverings may be removed, but additional (more than six (6) feet) physical distancing is required for the duration of that activity.
- Practices will not be open to visitors/spectators, including parents, booster clubs, and community members.
- The BHS athletics program will not penalize a student-athlete’s attendance due to illness or general safety concerns. Students who are ill or have general safety concerns will be afforded the opportunity to try out for the team when they are capable and feel safe to do so. Parents/guardians are expected to communicate with their student-athlete’s head coach to discuss these issues affecting their student’s attendance.
Team Cohorts/Facility Use

- No parents or spectators will be allowed to attend conditioning sessions, nor enter any BHS athletic facilities at this time.
- Parents are expected to pick up their student at the conclusion of each assigned conditioning session. Students who individually transport themselves are to leave the premises immediately following the conclusion of each assigned conditioning session.
- The pool will be incorporated for water polo workouts, and will follow health directives for equipment and adequate, physical distancing.

COVID-19 Response to Symptoms/Exposure/Positive Testing
- As per the “Infectious Disease Including COVID-19- Assumption of Risk and Waiver of Liability” form included in your student’s athletic clearance process, coaches and athletic trainers will attend mandatory training to respond to COVID-19 Symptoms/Exposure/Positive Testing. This training will include responses to student-athletes with positive test results, those who have been exposed, and those that present symptoms of COVID-19.
- Student-athletes with symptoms shall stay at home, notify their coach, and be advised to contact their healthcare provider to seek medical diagnosis. This is also applicable if a student is sent home for exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms during a conditioning session. After symptoms are completely gone, notify the student-athlete’s coach for a return date. Please refer to the COVID Flow Chart below.
- Student-athletes who are feeling well and have a sick family member at home with COVID-19 should evaluate their own personal health regarding symptoms. They shall quarantine for 10 days as indicated by CDC guidelines. Once the student-athlete has completed the quarantine period and is symptom-free, the student-athlete will notify their coach.

You may also send cash or check with your student to make the purchase at the business office, and e-mail a JPEG photo for each person ordering a pass to our ASB director, Jennifer Florence.
