Spring 2021: Information for Student-Athletes

BW appreciates the care the OAC has shown for our student athletes and the rigorous protocols put in place for the safety of team training, practice and competition.

Intercollegiate competition has resumed for winter sports, the OAC and our BW coaches are working with all BW varsity teams for conditioning, skills training and leadership development in preparation for spring competition.

BW athletics training protocols and support for student-athletes will be designed following all relevant guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Ohio Department of Health (ODH), the OAC and NCAA.

Testing, Screening and Contact Tracing

To help protect our students, faculty and staff from COVID-19, BW has developed a robust and comprehensive program of testing, screening and contact tracing. Student-athletes were required to complete a COVID-19 test upon their arrival to campus. View full details on COVID-19 testing, screening and contact tracing.

BW athletic facilities are open for use by BW varsity sports. Prior to using the facilities, athletes are required to have a symptoms check as they enter the facility.

Currently, the facilities are only open for specific periods of the day and a limited number of people are allowed in at any one time to maintain physical distance, manage sanitation and allow for contact tracing, if needed. No visitors, fans or family members are permitted in BW athletic facilities.

Student-athletes must arrange pre-scheduled recruitment visits with the Admission Office or Athletics Office.

BW has confidence that our student athletes, coaches, staff, alumni and supporters will rally, stay connected and excel. We look forward to resuming competition for every varsity team and cheering on our Yellow Jackets to victory in 2021. At this time, no guests, fans, or family members are permitted to attend varsity competition, practice or training.
