- Day 1-3 = Zero contact
- Days 4-5 = full speed in helmets and “light” gear
- Day 6 = mandatory rest day
- Day 7 = Full pads
- Day 8 and beyond the team sets the rhythm but there are limits on full speed and full pad days.
COVID
- Players/Staff are no longer required to be under mandatory surveillance, testing with no regard to their vaccination status.
- Electronic tracking is no longer required for players/staff
- Local municipalities dictate masks. The team “can” require masking if they choose.
- Players/staff must test negative if showing any symptoms.
- A 5-day quarantine for a positive test
- This could all change
