July NSC Super Rink COVID-19 updates

The National Sports Center is renting ice for youth sports practice and games. Our facility is working in accord with the guidance provided by the Minnesota Department of Health.  Below are specific parameters to support youth sports in a way that will minimize transmission of COVID-19.  As we continue to bring groups back into the Super Rink, we are looking to mitigate risk and reduce harm.  Below are the guidelines for Super Rink use.

1. For practices follow the MDH guidelines with a maximum number of 25 people in each pod (2 pods per ice sheet)
2. Make sure you’re in compliance with Safe Sport mandates (federal law)
3. Remind parents or caregivers that they should not attend practices.
4. Wear a mask at the Super Rink, except when on the ice.
5. Maintain social distancing at all times, except when on the ice.
6. Use assigned locker rooms only and maintain proper physical distancing of 6 feet
