ADAPTIVE SPORTS PROGRAM NEW MEXICO
COVID-19 OPERATIONS PLAN
Adaptive Sports Program New Mexico (ASPNM) continues to adapt to the COVID-19 pandemic by staying up to date on current national, state, and local public health guidance. Additionally, we operate within the guidelines of the Department of Veterans Affairs and Move United, a national adaptive sports organization of which ASPNM is a chapter.
Disclaimer:
This plan is subject to change without notice. ASPNM will continue to follow national, state, and local public health requirements and recommendations. We are dedicated to the health and well-being of our staff, volunteers, athletes, and community.
Vaccination Policy:
Staff and Volunteer Guidelines:
We ask that staff and volunteers make every effort to prevent the transmission of COVID -19 at all ASPNM events. All staff and volunteers (who are eligible) will be required to be up-to-date with COVID vaccines, including updated (bivalent) boosters, prior to participating with ASPNM. Follow this link for the most up-to-date CDC guidelines regarding updated booster eligibility. Individuals will be required to attest to their vaccination status when registering to volunteer and may be asked to provide proof of vaccination.
Exemption Policy:
ASPNM will handle medical exemption requests on a case-by-case basis. Individuals requesting an exemption must submit a letter from their primary physician confirming they are not able to be vaccinated due to a medical consideration, along with a written explanation of their circumstance and appropriate contact information. The exemption request must be submitted at least 2 weeks prior to the participation date. Requests are to be sent to info@ASPNM.org.
Participants, Family and General Community Guidelines:
As of October 19, 2022, Adaptive Sports Program New Mexico will continue to encourage all participants and families to be fully vaccinated against COVID – 19. However, this is no longer a requirement to participate in Adaptive Sports Program New Mexico.
Covid-19 Symptom Screening:
Participants and volunteers are asked to self-screen prior to their arrival at their ASPNM lesson/event. If a participant or volunteer has been in recent close contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19, feels unwell, or has any of the following Covid-19 symptoms, we ask that they stay home:
- Temperature of 100.4 / Fever
- Cough
- Fatigue
- Muscle pain
- Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
- Sore throat
- New loss of taste or smell
If you develop symptoms and/or test positive for COVID-19, please stay home and notify ASPNM if you were present for an ASPNM event within the past 5 days. Notification can be made by email at info@aspnm.org or by phone at (505) 570-5710.
Mask Policy:
ASPNM will follow the New Mexico Department of Health and host establishment (i.e., ski areas, climbing gym, campgrounds) mask policies in place at the time.
Hand Hygiene:
ASPNM will provide hand sanitizer at all events and encourage frequent hand washing.
Cancellation Policies:
In order to receive a refund, notice of cancellation must be given more than 48 hours prior to the start of the lesson. Cancellation can be done via phone at 505.570.5710 ext.1 or email at info@ASPNM.org. If you are symptomatic within 48 hours of your lesson and need to cancel, please provide notice as soon as possible, and a refund will be provided.
Covid-19 Restrictions and/or Shutdown Contingency:
In the event the program is unable to operate due to Covid-19 restrictions and/or a shutdown, no refunds will be issued. Instead, you will be eligible to receive a credit towards next year’s registration fees.
As of October 19, 2022
(ASPNM reserves the right to revise this plan as guidance may change over the course of the next year).
