River Forest Park District: Youth Basketball Program

Press release from the River Forest Park District:

Wed February 16, 2022

Due to the improving conditions with infection and vaccination rates, and the loosening of COVID mandates/guidelines across the State, the River Forest Park District is amending its Spectator Policy for our youth basketball program effective immediately. For everyone's safety and enjoyment, please respect the following guidelines:

1. One (1) parent per player will be allowed to spectate during the game/practice. Our spectator space around the basketball courts is extremely limited and will only accommodate a limited number of parents. One parent per player will allow every family the opportunity to have one parent watch their child.

2. Face masks must be worn by all participants and spectators at D90 school sites, including Roosevelt, Lincoln, and Willard Schools. The face mask must cover both the mouth and the nose.

3. Face masks are optional for participants and spectators at Trinity High School only. This requirement is contingent that the temporary restraining order on the Governor's Order regarding school masking remains in place.

4. Spectators are requested to observe physical distancing of at least 3-feet. If you wish to socialize with other spectators, please do so outside the facilities.

5. Spectators are asked to not enter the facility earlier than 5 minutes before the game, and leave no later than 5 minutes after the game.

The Park District will not have masks available at each game site, so please remember your mask.
