City of Boulder Sport Field Rental Procedures 

Current statewide guidelines allow for limited public gatherings with appropriate social distancing and precautions. City of Boulder Field Rentals must include a written COVID-19 PLAN  in accordance with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) Personal Recreation and Outdoor Events Guidance. This is subject to change based future recommendations and/or requirements from city, county, state or government authorities. 

State of Colorado Guidelines: 

Please create a written COVID-19 PLAN in accordance with the most updated Personal Recreation Guidance. Example of key guidance (as of 8-12-2020) outlined below:  

Participants 

• Stay home if sick or exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms. Consider screening participants for fever, symptoms, or exposures before or at their arrival. 
• Stay home and self-quarantine if you have been in close contact with a person suspected or confirmed to have COVID-19 (generally within 6 feet for at least 10 minutes, depending on the level of exposure). 
• Bring hand sanitizer to clean hands when soap and water is not available. 
• Masks are required at all times when 6 feet of physical distancing can not be maintained. 

Spectators/Parents/Guardians  

• Spectators are strongly discouraged for adult sports. Spectators, like parents, are permitted for youth sports, so long as members from different households maintain at least 6 feet of physical distance from each other. 
• Practice social distancing of 6 feet from other households during drop off/pick up of players. 
• Masks are required (i.e. in dugouts, by coaches, by spectators). 
• Do not share snacks or water, except in emergency situations.  

Applicant/Organizer 

• Organized youth or adult recreational sports leagues in groups of up to 25 players, excluding coaches or referees/umpires at a time per court or per field. 
• Maintain contact information and team rosters and be prepared to support local public health contact tracing efforts if exposures occur.   
• Consider participating in low or no-contact sports (like baseball, cross country, or cycling) instead of high-contact sports (like wrestling or soccer). 
• Use personal equipment such as bats, mitts, rackets, etc., as much as possible 
• Consider only holding games with other teams every 2 weeks, to minimize the number of new teams of players interacting. Regular practices with the same group are fine. 
• Games that require extensive travel are strongly discouraged.
