COVID-19 is still a concern as spring time approaches and the club intends to follow all protocols and policies that align with the Waukee Community School District Facility Usage Agreement.
Typically, this looks like athletes and coaches wearing masks when inside or outside, unless athletes are completing a high-respiration exercise or workout. If your child feels unwell, keep them home!
