OPHIR SAFETY

POLICIES, PROTOCOLS &
WAIVERS

The health and safety of all our coaches, players, staff, and fans is our top priority. Spectators are allowed to watch league games and tournaments as long as they wear a mask covering their nose and mouth at all times. We thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Spectators are not allowed during training, programs, Id clinics etc.

New York State’s new Covid 19 guidelines for indoor businesses, announced Friday, December 10, requires all customers, spectators, and staff, regardless of vaccination status, to wear a mask at all times in an indoor facility. Therefore all players, staff and coaches must wear a mask in the dome at all times.

This new updated policy will go into effect today, Monday, December 13th, 2021 as per New York State regulations.

Thank you for working with us to navigate through Covid 19 over the past 19 months. As always, our ultimate goal is to ensure the safety and health of all our participants.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us at rentals@ophirfield.com.

Ophir looks forward to the winter 2021-22.  We are very focused on having a safe and successful season. With the best interests of safety in mind, we are implementing important protocols and checklists which will be strictly followed to minimize risk.  It has been noted that there is greater Covid-19 risk indoors versus outdoors.      

In the bubble, Ophir is installing four (4) commercial air filtration/cleansing machines (Arizon Direct Air Management UV Light Air Treatment System) that contain MERV filtration and cleansing from enclosed UV-C lighting.  For your information, Ophir would like to provide the following specification documents from the manufacturer to further educate our Participants.  The information regarding the machines from the manufacturer can be found attached below.

These filtration/cleansing machines are in addition to the existing Arizon Air Rotation Technology in the dome. The air handlers for the bubble are fed by a combination of external air and internal recycled air.  Per the manufacturer, the external air ventilation rate for the dome, by itself, is equal to a complete air change every 4.3 hours. The external air ventilation into the dome operates 24 hours a day since the air handlers operate continuously. The addition of the filtration/cleansing machines will provide an additional layer of protection to the already robust existing system.
