On June 4, 2020, the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment published updated guidelines for organized recreational sports.
On July 17, 2020, an Executive Order took effect requiring the wearing of masks in indoor public spaces. This order mandates the wearing of masks in our in-building restrooms.
On February 6, 2021, El Paso County entered Safer At Home Level Yellow - Concern, which requires outdoor recreational sports activities to be limited to 25 players and 175 spectators, with spectators separated from non-household contacts by 6 ft.
