Southern Utah Athletics To Begin Phased Reopening For Student-Athletes

CEDAR CITY, Utah-Friday, Southern Utah University’s athletics department announced that proper policies and procedures are in place to bring student-athletes back to campus.

In-person voluntary workouts are to commence Monday.

Upon their return to Cedar City, student-athletes will be placed in a quarantine period with symptoms to be monitored daily.

As part of the phasing structure, student-athletes residing in Cedar City or anywhere in Utah will be allowed to commence their voluntary workouts Monday. Those that are out of state will be able to start June 22.

The initial phase-in plan will allow the following student-athletes to be back on campus by June 22: football, men’s basketball, gymnastics, soccer and volleyball.

Assuming that this phase-in is successful, plans will be put in place for all student-athletes to return through July.

For the first two weeks, all student-athlete workouts will occur outside. Daily screenings will also be conducted before they can participate in any activities.

Proper social distancing measures will also be implemented during these voluntary workouts as well.
