While outdoors, masks are recommended when unable to maintain a distance of at least 6 feet from others.

• Equipment will be sanitized in between heats
• Towels and disinfecting spray will be provided in the athlete warmup area to wipe down equipment after use

Capacity

• According to the City of Springfield, we are currently allowed to operate at 50% capacity inside the Proximal Strength facility. That means we can have 208 people in the building at a time. 
• We will be allowing a limited number of spectators passes - More info to come closer to the event
• We will monitor the number of people in the facility, and may need to request people to step outside if we reach capacity
