PADA values diversity, equity, and inclusion, and we expect all players to uphold those values in their words and actions. For additional information, please read and reference the PADA DEI Language Glossary.

 Safety precautions: Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, the following safety rules will be implemented. Please visit our mask update blog for more information. 

• Players who are fully vaccinated may play without masks. Players who wish to play without a mask must self-report their vaccination status via the Vaccination Status Survey. 
• Players who have not completed the vaccination status survey and certified that they are fully vaccinated must wear masks at all times (if masks need to be removed for water breaks, catching your breath, etc., please ensure you maintain a distance of 6ft from others). 
• If your vaccination status has changed and you’d like to update your survey response please fill out the vaccination status survey and notify your league coordinators.
• Captains will be provided with their team roster, which will include player vaccination status. For those players who are partially vaccinated, their fully vaccinated date will also be included. 
• Players who have not filled out the vaccination status form or who have indicated that they are partially/unvaccinated and refuse to follow mask guidelines will be removed from the league. 
• To report a player for not following mask guidelines, please fill out the Mask Guideline Incident Form.
• All teams are allowed to call ‘Equipment Time-Outs’ to allow masked players to replace/adjust their mask should it come off during play. ‘Equipment Time-Outs’ will follow the same structure as a ‘Pick Call’.
• All teams will be allotted “Mask Time-Outs” for players to remove their masks and catch their breath during play. Each team will have 2 mask time-outs per half. Please note, social distancing guidelines should be followed whenever a mask is removed. 
• Do not share food or water with other players. Pack more water than you anticipate needing.
