Tracking the Return to Sports
Team activity brought to you by TeamSnap
Week of October 26 Updates
I am proud to share this heat map as an on-going, data-informed resource that tracks the return to youth sports. This map provides visibility into state-by-state and sport-specific trends across the United States and Canada, and is accompanied by tools and resources to help support a safe return to sports. I invite you to explore, follow and share!
Week October 26 findings include:
- For the first time in six weeks, the U.S. Return to Sport Index score fell below 100.0% to 91.3%. States with the biggest decrease in activities include Colorado, New Jersey and Connecticut.
- U.S. Football decreased over 10.0% for the second week in a row resulting in a 73.2% Return to Sport Index score.
- The Canadian Return to Sport Index score increased over 14.0% this week reaching 90.4%. This is heavily attributed to an increase in Ice Hockey activities, to include practices and skills sessions.
- 54% of sports events scheduled in Canada last week have used TeamSnap’s COVID-19 Health Check screening tool.
Given the increasing number of COVID-19 cases and latest shut-downs, we continue to monitor these trends closely. For those returning to play, I invite you to learn more about our TeamSnap Health Check feature, which has provided over 5 Million health screenings since first launched in August. We applaud our customers' role in the safe return to play and remain committed to the success of all youth sports.
Play on—safely!

Parents’ Cumulative Sentiment on Safety
Are your coaches and volunteer staff wearing
face masks during practices and games?
Social distancing (if possible) wear face masks, have sanitizer and soap and water available for cleaning
Distance & sanitation! Don’t think masks would work!
Follow USA Softball guidelines regarding "Back to the Ballpark Guidelines" covering self-health assessments, social distancing (6'), using hand sanitizer frequently - but not wearing masks during games.
Temperature checks, sanitizing all equipment, wearing masks on the sidelines, spectator's and athletes keeping 6 feet distance when possible.
I feel it is too early because the first practice out, I did not see social distancing being enforced by coaches with their players, nor did I see all coaches taking precautions by wearing a mask.
Masks for all parties on sideline and team bench. Spacing of players personal items and of players during hydration breaks.
Proper use of health department guidelines, in the hand washing, no physical contact (high fives, etc), parents wearing masks, keeping small groups.
We’d like to hear how you feel!
