COVID-19 Event Policy

Coach Excellence School makes every effort to provide a safe experience for all Students. Participants attending any in-person DSWA event are encouraged to review and adhere to all guidelines established by the CDC to protect themselves from COVID-19.

If you are experiencing any symptoms connected with COVID-19, have been recently diagnosed or had direct contact with a suspected COVID-19 case within 14 days of the in-person event, we ask you to notify us immediately so that we can transfer your registration to a future school.

Attendees understand that even though Coach Excellence School will take precautionary measures as outlined by the CDC, that participation carries inherent risks of COVID-19 transmission. By signing-in for the event, Students are attending of their own freewill. Any Participant that does not feel safe attending may transfer their registration to a future school (online or in-person).
