SSD Athletics Update in Regards to Masks

Governor Carney issued the Tenth Revision to the 27th Modification of the State of Emergency Declaration which addressed face coverings for interscholastic sports. The revision provides guidance on the use of face coverings for DIAA spring sports during competition in non-high-risk sports. The updated guidance takes effect Wednesday, April 28 at 8am. Per the guidance, DIAA spring sport student athletes (baseball, girls soccer, softball, and tennis.) must wear face coverings except when actively engaged in practice or game play while on the field. Face coverings should be worn on the sidelines and all other times when athletes are not engaged in active play. There is no change to face covering requirements for athletes, coaches, officials, event staff or spectators.
