Atlantic Activities Director Andy Mitchell, Wednesday, said COVID-19 did not have a huge affect on sports and other activities this fall.

He told the Atlantic School Board, Winter Sports activities begin next week.

Mitchell said also the coaches are doing their best to keep kids six-feet or more apart. When they can’t they rotate drills constantly. Masks are to be worn when they get on the bus and in the locker rooms. He said also they had a plan on how they were going to transition from outdoor sports to indoor sports, but the Governor’s new proclamation on Tuesday changed that.

Mitchell said events will be live streamed as well through booktix.com. More information will be available on that soon. There’s also some new technology in-place to live-stream various events.

Mitchell said the two fans per player policy was discussed among the Hawkeye 10 Conference members.

He said they have to find a way to pay officials, and that “There won’t be a lot of extra money coming in this year.
