Social Distancing

  • Use different doors for entrance and exit, when possible
• If available, utilize online waivers through registration software.
• Do not handle clipboards. Have waivers sitting in a place accessible by the participant. Sanitize hands before and after handling the pen.
• Registrars should not handle membership cards or driver’s licenses.
  • Ask member to hold it up and visually check the validity OR
  • Use member look-up in the Member Account Portal to verify membership
