Frequently Asked Question: Can you play Organized or Recreational Team Sports?

No. All organized and/or recreational team sports activities are prohibited until further notice. This applies to all organized sports teams (except professional teams, which may be covered by a separate order), including those associated with public and private schools and colleges, and adult and youth sports organizations. This prohibition applies to members of a team gathering together for games, practices, physical conditioning, drills and any other group activity that involves two or more persons gathering at the same place and time for an organized team activity. The California Department of Public Health (“CDPH”) guidance on day camps (“Guidance”), which has been approved for implementation by the County Health Officer, permits recreational activities that involve day campers sharing toys and equipment provided the campers comply with social distancing requirements. Neither the Guidance on day camps, nor any other guidance issued by the CDPH, shall be construed to permit organized team sports activities contrary to the intent of this order. FAQ’S are directives from the State and/or Local Public Health Officer, and have the same force and effect as other State and/or Local Public Health Officer directives.
