Our sincerest thanks and appreciation to Carla O’Brien and staff at DAC for stepping up for our lifters during these challenging times!!
Covid Screening will take place at entrance. All rules will be explained there, and/or you can contact myself or Carla O’Brien at DAC with any questions.
No one will be allowed in without a facemask/shield/ or face covering, no exceptions. Everyone must wear masks at all times in building with the exception of the competition athletes when they are in warmup or competition platform area. If you leave that area, you must put on your mask.
Unfortunately, no spectators can be allowed. Webcast is live and free. They can stand on turf outside doors, possibly doors up if warm. Athletes may have one coach in warmup area, designated at checkin, and who must wear mask at all times in facility.
Even if CT goes back to Phase 2, we will still hold the meet, as conditions will be the same as August 9. We are subject to State inspection with fines and shutdown, and are doing everything to comply with State regulations. We appreciate everyone’s cooperation.
