CHANGES TO OUR PRACTICES AND POLICIES

Here at Yard Athletics Inc. (“Yard Athletics”), the safety and wellbeing of our clients has and continues to be our top priority. In order to provide our clients with a safe, effective and enjoyable training environment, while at the same time doing our best to prevent the spread of COVID-19, we`ve made changes to our practices and policies in order to better protect our clients and offer peace of mind in these uncertain times. These changes include, but are not limited to, the following:

Cleaning Procedures:

• Increased cleaning and disinfection of facility surfaces, with an emphasis on frequently touched areas such as equipment, flooring, changing rooms and door handles;
• A 30 minute sanitation period after each session to ensure adequate sanitation protocols are met and no overlap of clientele within the space occurs;
• Thorough sanitation of any piece of equipment utilized by a client prior to another patron utilizing said piece of equipment;
• A full sanitization and cleaning of the facility will follow at the end of each day utilizing a medical grade disinfectant fog;

Heightened Safety Protocols:
