COVID-19 UPDATE:

We are thrilled to announce Strike Zone Sports will be opening our doors on Monday May, 18^th 2020. Thank you all for your patience and continuous support during these difficult and uncertain times.

We as a staff at SZS care deeply about the health and wellbeing of our athletes and their family members. We fully support the Minnesota Department of Health and Governor Tim Walz’s #StaySafeMN recommendations on practicing social distancing to limit the spread of COVID-19.

Please take a moment to read our updated COVID-19 facility policy & expectations below.

What you can expect from instructors once open:

1. Staff will wipe down touchable things before, throughout and after each day (door handles, light switches, parent cage tables, bathroom sink handle, toilet seat, etc.)
2. Staff will have a “sanitizing station” at the facility for use before and after lessons
3. Instructors will remain six feet from clients at all times inside the space
4. Instructors will wear COVID-19 masks at all times inside the facility
5. We plan to keep the garage door and front door open at all times to create a fresh air flow throughout the space
6. We will only allow 10 people maximum in the facility at one time

We ask the following from our clients who plan to participate in lessons:

1. Do NOT attend your lesson if you feel sick or have any flu-like symptoms
2. Clients please wait to enter the facility until your exact lesson time (this will help ensure we only have a max of 10 individuals in the space at one time)
3. Wash your hands or use the “sanitize station” before and after your lesson
4. Pitchers must bring their own balls and equipment to lessons (this includes buckets for catchers to sit on)
5. Hitters must wear batting gloves during entire lesson, this includes while picking up balls between reps
6. Participants are recommended to wear a Covid-19 mask in the facility
7. Bring your own individual water bottle
8. Spectators/non-participants must remain outside of the facility during all lessons
9. We recommend lesson payments be made through Venmo or PayPal (communicate with your instructor on their preference)

We will be monitoring our situation daily and will make any adjustments necessary to keep Strike Zone Sports a safe and operational space for our clients and instructors.
