As we venture into our first Recreational Season since Winter 2019-20, we will need everyone's help to have a safe season for our players and volunteers.  We have new operating guidelines that will affect practices and games - please be sure to read them and do not hesitate to email basketball@chantillyyouth.org with any questions. 

Please be sure to read our updated guidelines BEFORE you drop your child off at their first practice and game

• MASKS MUST BE WORN AT ALL TIMES - by everyone, players, coaches, volunteers, etc.This is a CYA Basketball policy that we are mandating across all of our programs (Travel, AAU & Recreational)Only exception is when a player is drinking water or changing masks
  • Some facilities do not require masks during sport activity / excercise, our policy does not change - if you are a CYA player, coach, volunteer, you must wear a mask
  • Anyone who enters a Fairfax County Gym is required to be masked, failure to comply will result in our permit being pulled for that school 
• Athletic Masks: Masks should be appropriate for exercise.  If you see visible moisture on the outside of the mask, it's no longer protecting.  An informative article and shopping links can be found here.
• Only coaches and players allowed in gyms for practices
• Only coaches, players, officials and game day volunteers allowed in gyms for games - no spectators
• As an organization, we have reporting responsibilities to the Fairfax County Health Department (FCHD)
• If a player tests positive and has had direct exposure with the team, we are required to pause all activities for that team - until we hear from the FCHD
• FCHD will perform contact tracing and will provide guidance to parents on how long to quarantine 
• If a player is exposed to someone who tested positive for COVID-19, they will need to pause their involvement with team activity and quarantine for the recommended period of time set by the FCHD (usually 14 days from the last day of exposure)
