Getting back to Playing Ball
The days are getting shorter, there is a cool crisp in the air, and the leaves are changing colors; it’s undoubtedly fall. The return of the autumnal season also means football has kicked-off, baseball playoffs are here, basketball is just beginning, hockey players are ready to hit the ice, and soccer teams have rivalry match-ups. Whether you are a fan of professional, college, or recreational sports, or you’re an athlete, an official or team staff member, October is an exciting month in the world of sports.
COVID-19 Testing for Sports Fans
As we withstand the second COVID-19 impacted sports season, most leagues and associations have already established vaccination and COVID-19 testing protocols to help ensure the safety of players and fans alike. If you are a fan and planning to attend any in-person games, we encourage you to visit league and team websites for official vaccination, testing, and mask policies, as these vary by league, team and location.
