Communication

CoVID-19 is a dynamic and fluid situation. We expect ongoing changes to our normal routine and ask for your patience and flexibility as we move forward. Our goal is for our athletes and staff to have a positive experience in our programs. Stealth Athletix will always make decisions based upon what is best for our athletes and staff. We will continue to communicate often and ask that you also continue to reach out to us with any concerns.

 

If an athlete or staff member tests positive for CoVID-19, Stealth Athletix will send an email to all registered athletes and staff members notifying families that an individual who has been in our building has tested positive for CoVID-19. We will provide you with the last day and time that athlete was in our building, but no names will be provided. Should your child have been in close contact (within 6 feet of that person for 15 minutes or longer), you will be provided an additional email sharing that information with you.
