He boasts of our rich history and ability to adapt to whatever comes at us. We make adjustments to our circumstances and find a way to succeed. The Governor’s words are an inspiration to all Ohioans. We have seen private and public entities across our great state step up time after time to help one another adjust to the challenges of this pandemic. Emboldened by the Governor’s encouragement and thoughtful preparations, the Ohio High School Football Coaches Association has developed several recommendations for changes in protocols to responsibly restart Ohio high school football in the fall of 2020. The Ohio High School Football Coaches Association has a mission to promote the sport of football by recommending the use of the safest, most medically sound and best practices in teaching skills to athletes. It is our belief that the mental health of the young men who play football can be negatively affected by eliminating football for 2020. There is a growing concern about the rise in behavioral health and self harm cases among children, brought on by isolation caused by the pandemic, doctors say. “The stress, the fear and the uncertainty created by COVID-19 can wear down anyone and our team seem to be particularly vulnerable to this feeling depressed, hopeless, anxious, or angry during COVID-19 can be typical but also can be signs that our teenagers may need more support during this difficult time,” according to St Louis pediatrician, Dr. Rachel Charney. https://www.kmov.com/news/pediatricians-concerned-about-mental-state-of-children-teens -due-to-isolation-caused-by-covid-19/article_b2c553da-c54d-11ea-9944-4b0a1d340ea3.html Being a part of a team, being around coaches who truly care for them, and by breaking out of the isolation that has characterized this health crisis will be of great benefit to these athletes. In this period of Covid-19, as an association that represents 709 school districts registered with the Ohio High School Athletic Association to play 11 man football this fall, it is incumbent upon us to also incorporate changes to the methods that have been used in the past to meet the challenge of this pandemic. These changes include, but are not limited to, practices, travel, and the game day procedures in accordance with the Governor’s Responsible Restart Ohio Initiative and the guidelines set forth by the Center for Disease Control. In order to update the teaching, organization, and safety for all athletes, coaches, trainers and team personnel, the OHSFCA has established the following protocols and actions: 2 OHIO HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL COACHES ASSOCIATION FALL 2020 PROPOSAL The Ohio High School Football Coaches Association represents over 700 schools in Ohio. We have made many changes from our 2019 model in lieu of the global pandemic we are all experiencing. In 2020 we will provide the safest playing conditions possible under the current environment. Please see below the list of accommodations we are making to insure each attendee has the safest experience possible. Every attendee will wear masks and we will have no common areas for people to congregate.

Testing should be completed within 24 hours of the individual becoming symptomatic – preferably within the same day when the individual develops symptoms. Teams/organizations/schools should work with parents to ensure they have access to testing through their healthcare providers or direct them to testing options. It is recommended that teams/organizations/schools have a partnership established with a local healthcare entity to help expedite testing if needed. Individual testing positive, whether symptomatic or asymptomatic, may not return to activities until meeting the CDC requirements for ending self-isolation using either a symptom-based or test-based strategy. Team/organization/school must notify all athletes and parents/guardians that are members of the affected team of the positive test. Athletes and families should be reminded of proper daily screening protocols. If the affected individual participated in competition, the team is responsible for notifying any opponents played within the 3 days prior to the onset of symptoms. If the teams/schools/organizations reside in different counties, the health departments in both counties should be notified to help facilitate effective contact tracing/notifications. It is Mandatory that teams conduct daily in-person temperature checks for a team with a positive test prior to athletes/coaches participation in practices and games for at least 14 days following a positive test. 14 OHIO HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL COACHES ASSOCIATION FALL 2020 PROPOSAL COVID-19 Response: Coaches and administrators will work with the local health department to identify those individuals who were potentially exposed to help facilitate effective contact tracing/ notifications. This includes, but is not limited to, athletes, coaches, officials, volunteers, parents and other support personnel. Athletes, coaches, officials or other individuals potentially exposed – within six feet for a consecutive time period of 15 minutes or more – must self-quarantine for 6 days following exposure. After 6 days, they may return to practice and competition if they have not shown symptoms. 15 OHIO HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL COACHES ASSOCIATION FALL 2020 PROPOSAL OHSFCA TRAVEL PLAN FALL 2020 Pre-travel Protocol: Visiting school contact opponents concerning game day protocols.

Based on these averages, no player on either football team will incur over 11 minutes of continuous contact which is under the CDC guidelines of no more than 15 minutes of continuous contact. 29 OHIO HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL COACHES ASSOCIATION FALL 2020 PROPOSAL 7'33 5?.4 Physical health health Overall health :1 Historical Data I Kansas May 2020 Data Prevalence of Depression in Adolescent Athletes During come-19 Related School Closures and Sport Cancellations in Wisconsin 535% 68% reported of depression in May 2020 322% 343% 33.4% 213% 9.7% Minimal or None Mild Moderate to Severe Historical Data I May 2020 Data Moderate to Severe Depression was 3.5x higher during Magir 292D (p 30 OHIO HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL COACHES ASSOCIATION FALL 2020 PROPOSAL Form available on OHSAA website {INSERT YOUR SCHOOL LOGO HERE} COVID-19 Athlete/Coach Monitoring Form DATE: ​ ______ NAME Coach: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. ​ PERSON RESPONSIBLE: ___________ FACILITY: TIME FEVER CIRCLE YES/NO BELOW SORE SHORTNESS COUGH THROAT OF BREATH YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO CONTACT W COVID-19 YES NO YES NO YES NO YES NO YES NO YES NO YES NO YES NO YES NO YES NO TEMPIF > 100.4 31 OHIO HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL COACHES ASSOCIATION FALL 2020 PROPOSAL COURSE OF ACTION: As we move forward in the direction of a responsible restart, we ask that the Governor’s taskforce review the information we have provided as a guide to outline protocols for the 2020 fall football season.
