BAA Statement on COVID -19

BAA COVID-19 Update 7/21/2020

The Bloomington Athletic Association (BAA) is committed to protecting the health and safety of our sports families and the broader community. We are closely monitoring Bloomington Public Schools BPS and the City of Bloomington for our planning and preparation for COVID-19/Coronavirus and will be following their lead on decisions to cancel activities.

COVID-19 Social Distancing Policy for all BAA Sports until further notice (7/20/2020): ALL BAA Volunteers working with players (coaches, assistant coaches, volunteers organizing kids, umpires, etc) will be required to wear a face mask at all times while at the field with parents, guardians and/or players present. This is a change from our original guideline stating face masks were strongly encouraged, but not required for Coaches.

Taking this action will minimize the effect to the BAA teams if a coach was exposed to other people that had been diagnosed with COVID-19.

Sport Specific policies can be found on the Sports Page on our site.
