Please note that the following mask requirements are those of ISD 194 and Community Education (the school district department that manages our gym use) as a condition of allowing LNGBA to use their facilities for the season.  For the district, all masking requirements are based on the cases per 10,000 rate for Dakota County.

Until further notice, all LNGBA players and parents are subject to the following face covering requirements:

• Beginning November 8, all persons over the age of 2 are required to wear a face covering when inside ANY Lakeville Area Schools building. This will remain in place through November 21 at the earliest.

  • Girls can remove their mask when playing basketball, but must be masked entering the school and while getting ready to play.  Masks should be worn while on the bench when possible.
  • Coaches may remove masks only when actively coaching/communicating.

It is very important that LNGBA have 100% compliance with these school district policies.  Buildings are monitored to ensure that we are following district rules, and  failure to do so will jeopardize our ability to continue using school gyms, which are obviously a critical resource for our organization.  We will update you any time these requirements change.

(These policies will change as guidance from ISD 194, MN Department of Health, MN State High School League, MYAS/MYBA, or CDC change)

If a player tests positive for Covid, it is imperative that LNGBA takes steps to minimize the impact to that player's team and notify impacted families.  Please use the confidential form below to notify us if your daughter has a positive Covid test.  LNGBA will keep your personal information confidential, but will need to notify the team if they were potentially exposed.

If your daughter is not feeling well, please do not attend practices or games!

• If your child has common Covid symptoms, it is highly recommended that she be tested.  Even with a negative test, avoid basketball activities while there are any symptoms!
• If a classroom is moved to distance learning/quarantined: We highly recommend testing 3-5 days after the potential exposure date.  In this instance:
  • Did your daughter wear a mask the entire time they were within 6 feet of an infected student?
    • If yes, participation is allowed, but parents must be vigilant monitoring for any potential symptoms.  When in doubt, stay home!
    • If no, follow the ISD 194 guidelines at the link below:

Athletes with positive tests:
Players testing positive for Covid-19 should confidentially report on the LNGBA home page.  In alignment with MSHSL policies, anyone who tests positive for COVID‐19 cannot participate in games or practice until all three of these things are true:

• They have had no fever for at least 24 hours, without using medicine that lowers fever, and,
• It has been at least 10 days since they first experienced symptoms or tested positive, and
• The symptoms of cough, shortness of breath, or other symptoms are better. (Day 1 is the earlier of the first day of symptoms or the day of the test. Student is eligible for competition on Day 11 if all three conditions have been met.)
