COVID-19 Update

---

The Colorado Gold Speedskating COVID-19 policy is in effect until further notice.

Skaters who do not comply with these guidelines may be asked to leave the ice with consequent forfeiture of any right to refund.

**Skaters and spectators/family members feeling ill and/or experiencing COVID-19 symptoms are not permitted to attend any practices or events, regardless of vaccination status.

**Skaters and spectators/family members eligible for vaccination will be required to show evidence of vaccination to a Colorado Gold representative in order to participate in practices and/or events without being required to wear a mask (mask wearing is still encouraged).

**Any skaters and spectators/family members not able/willing to show evidence of vaccination will be required to wear a mask over their nose and mouth during the duration of the event and/or practice.

**Everyone is required to comply with any and all requirements/restrictions set forth by the practice or event facilities, Colorado Gold coaching staff and/or the Colorado Gold Board of Directors, regardless of vaccination status. 

**If required by the facility, spectators/family members will not be able to stay in the ice hall, though parents may briefly and temporarily assist their skaters at the rink with skates and equipment. Colorado Gold volunteers will be inside the rink and on the ice with skaters.

**All Colorado Gold skaters and family members are encouraged to take any necessary precautions to reduce the spread of COVID-19. This includes, but is not limited to, maintaining physical distance, wearing a mask over the nose and mouth, and frequent hand washing.

**Our ice venues operate and maintain their respective premises to protect against the exposure of the COVID-19 virus or any other communicable disease in accordance with federal, state, and local guidelines. As noted by government health officials, complete isolation from the virus is impossible. Accordingly, the ice facility cannot and does not promise to eliminate the risk of exposure to COVID-19 or any other communicable disease, and cannot and does not promise that attendees will not contact COVID-19 or any other communicable disease. Acknowledging this waiver means you have been informed that ice facility attendance is not risk-free, that it is possible that the attendees may contact COVID-19 or any other communicable disease during their presence at the facility, and that any attendees freely choose to enter and/or reside in the Ice Hall with awareness of the associated risks.
