    MEET NOTES


    • With COVID-19 still a concern for the indoor winter sports, adjustments are necessary. The indoor season will include as many athletes as possible that desire to participate, but with that will come changes. The biggest concerns that are addressed with these changes are total numbers of people in the facility at one time and keeping athletes distanced from each other as much as possible. 
    • The objective is not to have any clusters of athletes and to have athletes near each other when necessary for no more than 10 minutes at a time. Less is better. With this in mind, the following are some requirements necessary to reach our goals.
    • All spectators and athletes must wear a mask at all times (unless competing) inside the Crossplex, as long as this is the city of Birmingham policy.
    • Only essential personnel are allowed on the mondo surface. This would include competing athletes, officials, volunteers and coaches in coaching boxes(limit of one per school per box).
    • Spectators, multiple coaches from the same school, college coaches and non-competing athletes are not allowed on the Mondo surface.
    • Athletes are encouraged to warm-up outside unless there is inclement weather.  If there is inclement weather, other arrangements will be made (If the bb arena is available).
    • Doors will open when the Crossplex is done disinfecting everything and no more than 30 minutes before the event is to start.  
    • The meet is sanctioned in Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi
