As we strive to keep our athletes safe and healthy, we have updated our check-in system which will now consist of a "symptom questionnaire" form and a QR code being scanned upon entering the building. The sole purpose of this is to ensure that no athlete/coach is entering the building with any known symptoms. Also, this will allow us to better internally contract trace, if necessary. This process will all be done via the CrowdBlink Protect App, please see below for the instructions. Please note that this is required by all coaches and athletes entering the building. If your child does not have a smartphone, we will have a tablet available for them to use upon check-in. 

1) Download the free CrowdBlink Protect app via Apple App Store or Google Play Store.

2) Create an account, and enter our authorization code when prompted (NVEGJU).

3) Once you create your account and are linked to our profile, you will be able to fill out the "symptom questionnaire" upon arriving at our facility. 

4) After the questionnaire, if you are not showing any symptoms, the app will produce a QR code with a green border (which we will scan), which means you are cleared to our program or event. If you are showing symptoms, the app will produce a QR code with a red border, which means you are not cleared to participate in the program or event.
