Announcements

• Adult Basketball 2021 PSA                 Starts 1/6/21
  With careful and thorough consideration, we are happy to announce that we will be starting an Adult Basketball “Open Gym”.  This is only for Adults, no children, or spectators please!!
  TIMES:
  Mornings:  HALF COURT PLAY (HS weight room side) – Max of 6 (LEVEL ORANGE)
  Monday – Friday @ 6a – 7:30a
  Saturdays @ 7a – 8:30a
   
  Evenings: FULL COURT PLAY – Max of 12 (LEVEL ORANGE)
  Mondays and Thursdays @ 7:30p – 9p
   
  SIGN IN: REQUIRED AT AQUATIC CENTER FRONT DESK
  Temperature will be taken and answer all screening questions.  NO EXCEPTIONS!!
  Basketball is a close contact sport, unlike the rest of the facility offerings (even racquetball isn’t as close of a contact sport!).  This is the reason for extra screening precautions. 
  COVID CONSCIOUS BEHAVIORS REQUIRED
  As with the rest of the Community Center required precautions, please:
  
  • Wear a mask when entering/exiting and moving through the facility to and from your desired locations. But not in active play or exercising. 
  • Keep your distance from others throughout the facility and at all possible times when on court!!
  • STAY HOME if you are not feeling well, experiencing symptoms, recent traveled within the last 14 days (CDC says reduce non-essential activities for at least 10 days or after day 7 after receiving a negative test), have been exposed to a COVID Positive individual, or have yourself tested positive!  This is not worth risking! 
  • Sanitize as often as possible. We have sanitizers throughout the facility, along with masks. 
  Basketball Use:
  Please bring your own basketball if you can.  If not, we will supply some via ball storage room.  Use/Touch only ONE BALL, please!!  Leave used basketball on the floor of ball room so that it can be sanitized and placed back on shelves.  Or wipe down with sanitizing wipes on Bleachers and place back on shelves. 
  IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS AT ALL – please call front desk at 772-3392 or 772-5447,  Stephanie Payne at 772-5445 or email spayne@petersburgak.gov.  We know there is a lot of uncertainty and always a question or two – we are here and happy to help!!
