This includes all students, teachers, coaches, mentors, parents, and spectators associated with a team.

Health and Safety Policies

As the season changes and temperatures drop, it's not uncommon to find yourself sneezing and coughing. Four viruses that can put a damper on fall activities are the flu, the common cold, COVID-19, and RSV (respiratory syncytial virus). To that end, teams are asked to use basic health and hygiene practices throughout the Carrollwood Clash VEX V5 Robotics Competition. Anyone who is not feeling well is advised not to participate in the event.

Date: 16-Nov-2024
