With the rising amount of exposures and positive results within our community, Next Level is requiring all participants who have received a positive COVID-19 test result to report immediately to Next Level by emailing [email protected]. Please include participant name, location, team, date of symptoms, and date of positive test. The participant will be contacted by Next Level for further information and instructions.
Players with a positive COVID-19 result must follow the CDC, State, County, and City Quarantine rules before returning to practice/games with their team and parents are responsible for monitoring the timeline of their return. Next Level will notify teammates upon receipt of confirmation of a positive COVID-19 case within their group and will expect participants to follow applicable guidelines for quarantining as applicable.
Contact Tracing:
If it is determined in our contact tracing review that the above stated best practices for minimizing close contact were followed during Next Level Sports practices/games, the presence of a positive COVID-19 result will not be considered a close contact or exposure for all other players per CDC guidelines. Next Level will notify teammates of a potential exposure within their group and will expect participants to follow applicable guidelines for quarantining as applicable.
This plan will continue to be updated as guidance changes national, state or county levels. We will be in communication if/when this occurs and updates/changes will be highlighted. Again, we appreciate your support and understanding as we continue to navigate COVID-19 through a successful season.
