MUST wear masks in all activities (warm-ups, plyos, core) except reps on the track, which will be spread out. Temperature checks and symptom/contact interviews required prior to the start of practice. Show up about 15 minutes early for required temperature screenings.

We will continue with the sign-up system (posted to Pole Pilots 4 Life), but you can come both days if space is available. (Max 10 per practice.)
Please be on time for any given practice.
Hand sanitizer use and social distancing expected!
Do not attend if you or someone in your immediate social network have symptoms, or if you have been advised to self-isolate due to exposure.

All of this is pending public health directives and our own health.

Please message Coach Jen if you want ideas for workouts!

After careful consideration, we are re-opening Pole Pilots on June 1. This is always pending our health and any official public health orders.

Do not attend if you or any member of your family have symptoms or have been recommended for isolation or quarantine due to exposure.

8 athletes max per session, with social distancing and waiting stations spaced 10 feet apart.

No congregating at warm-up stations!

No parents, guests or coaches observing workouts for the time being. Sorry.

Masks recommended. Hand sanitizer will be supplied.

We will NOT be able to effectively sanitize the pit DURING practices!

Will take our August break - we end up cancelling those practices due to monsoons and the start of school may be pretty chaotic. Probably no picnic this year, unless there is a breakthrough in the vaccination/treatment side of things.

Fall restart date: Monday September 14. We'll decide by about September 1st if we will have practice restrictions and protocols or be open for regular business.

DM me if questions or concerns.
