Policy: Post Game Handshakes and Acknowledgements
In light of the current COVID-19 pandemic, Republic Parks & Recreation has chosen to implement the following post-game handshake policy:
Coaches and participants are required to express post-game acknowledgements and “good games” to the opposing team, as an act of displaying good sportsmanship. Coaches and participants are encouraged to forgo the traditional handshake and high-five lines and utilize a tip of the hat, wave, or elbow bumps to minimize physical contact between participants and coaches. However, if coaches and participants of both teams choose, they may continue with the traditional post-game handshakes and high-fives.
