BHS Winter Athletics Information Following MPA and CDC guidelines, we will be offering winter sports at BHS starting on 12/7. All winter sports will look tremendously different from what we are used to. We ask everyone for their flexibility and patience as we provide the best winter athletic experience we can for our student athletes. Practice and game/meet schedules will be coming out soon. Coaches will be reaching out very soon to set up virtual meetings to give you more sport specific information. Every day before practice/games/meets, coaches and students will fill out a Covid 19 prescreening questionnaire or they will not be able to participate. The questionnaire can be found here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScn0s-U_XsXepdwC9WNGZat8cHmYKGYzm3FyoxrCveatIP_BA/viewform?gxids=7628 We will follow all CDC guidelines at all practices/games/meets for example: All coaches and athletes will wear a mask at all times except for swimmers while in the pool. All coaches and athletes will maintain 6 feet apart at all times when not involved in game play or situations. We will have hand sanitizer at all practices/games/meets and we will sanitize all equipment after all practices/games/meets. Students must have their own water bottles and bring enough water for practice or competitions. You can find all of the Community Sports guidelines here: https://www.maine.gov/decd/checklists/community-sports Thank you for your continued support of BHS Athletics
