Following a legal review and request for clarification, the City of Boise will follow Central District Health (CDH) guidance related to group size limits and youth sports. According to CDH, coaches, players and officials will not count toward the max capacity group size limit. The total number of spectators will be limited to 49 at outdoor league games this spring, so long as COVID-19 levels allow. Spectators will be required to maintain 6 feet of physical distance from those not in their immediate household and wear face coverings that properly cover the nose and mouth. Additionally, the City of Boise issued an updated public health order which provides a process by which individuals or organizations can gain approval for gatherings of greater than 50 people. Should a league or team plan to exceed the max capacity group size limit at a game or event, a safety plan will need to be submitted to Central District Health for approval.
Here is the youth sports guidance referenced above from CDH: https://www.cdh.idaho.gov/pdfs/cd/Coronavirus/Resource%20Docs/schools/2021/Youth-Sports-CDH-Position-Update02-09-21-Final.pdf
Failure to comply with the group size limit or other health order mandates could result in spectators not being allowed at games and events, or the loss of field use privileges on city property.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding as we continue to prioritize the health and safety of our community.
