This year’s season has gone different from last year. This time last year players would have mandatory 3 days workouts which includes open gym and weights. However, we haven’t been able to do any of this. Players right now are conducting individual workouts until new guidelines are put in place. Right now the scheduled time for official practice is November 1st. On September 2nd, the USA South official moved the basketball season to the spring. As of today, all sports have officially moved to the spring.
Method
Everyday players have to get their temperatures checked before going to class. Players are then asked if they have any symptoms and have they been exposed to COVID-19. Huntingdon College has set up rooms for students that have COVID-19 and those that need to be quarantined for possible exposure. Huntingdon College has done a great job to ensure safety at the school with the purpose to keep school going and sports played.
Players
Each week we have team meetings. Here at team meetings, we go through professional development and then we talk about the future for basketball. Coaches also make it a habit to individual text and see us about our health and student life.
