Press release from the Livingston Township:

June 19, 2020

Livingston Township sports fields will open to the public at 6:00 am on June 22, 2020 with the following restrictions:

1. In accordance with the Governor’s Executive Order, only non-contact practices may be played, provided that they do not involve person-to-person contact or routinely entail individuals interacting within six feet of one another. According to the Governor’s Executive Order, this allows non-contact practice beginning June 22, 2020 for sports such as:
   • Football
   • Lacrosse
   • Soccer
   • Basketball
   • Baseball/Softball
2. Each person should bring all of their own equipment. Sharing of equipment is discouraged as much as possible. If equipment is shared, you must be aware of the proper sanitation procedures for shared equipment (balls, bats, etc. - consult CDC guidance for cleaning and disinfection) and have sufficient disinfecting wipes or similar products available.
3. Each person should bring their own water and drinks to practice activities. Group water coolers for sharing through disposable cups should not be used.
4. Players should use their own hand sanitizer before and after play.
5. All surfaces touched must be wiped with disinfecting wipes.
6. Dispose of all trash, and when you leave take with you your personal belongings, water bottles, sporting equipment, etc. DO NOT leave anything behind at the field; doing so will put the health of the town employees at risk.
7. If you or your family members have displayed any symptoms or have been exposed to someone with COVID-19, do not use the fields.
