I received this email from the UHSAA
Good afternoon:
This email is in follow-up to the message last night regarding UHSAA winter activities. Last night, Governor Herbert released a health order that suspended all UHSAA activities with the exception of practice and games in the high school football state championships. This statewide health order includes the suspension of practices, competitions and tryouts in all UHSAA winter activities through November 23, according to the Governor’s plan. Furthermore, all other extracurricular activities are on hold for the duration of the order. As a reminder, known violations of the Governor’s Health Order could have severe consequences for you and your school.
In response to the Governor’s Health Order and the corresponding UHSAA communication on Sunday evening, here are some FAQ’s that can help answer concerns.
Q1) I am a swimming coach and we have already started competition. Can we continue competing?
A1) No, there is to be no competition except for the activities included in the Governor’s Health Order.
Q2) My drill team is practicing for performances at local gatherings and at our state football games. Can we continue doing that?
A2) No, support groups of all kinds are not going to be included in the UHSAA State Football Championships. All support groups should cease gathering and practicing for such events immediately.
Q3) My school has an athletic period for basketball. Can we conduct tryouts during that period?
A3) No, tryouts may not be conducted. Athletic periods can be used for activities like strength training, study hall or conditioning.
Q4) What can my team do in an athletic period?
A4) All team activities for winter sports are suspended through November 23, per the Governor’s Health Order. Athletic periods can be used for activities like strength training, study hall or conditioning.
Q5) Can my school have an open gym?
A5) No, all schools must cease holding open gyms through November 23, per the Governor’s Health Order.
Q6) Can we practice if we can social distance?
A6) No, the Public Health Order mandated that all extracurricular activities cease through November 23. This includes practices and competitions.
Q7) What will the season look like after this Health Order ends?
A7) The UHSAA staff is working in conjunction with the UHSAA Board-of-Trustees and Executive Committee to determine how the winter sports season will proceed when practice and tryouts resume. More information will be made available at a later date.
Q8) How can we help our student-athletes during this down period, as mandated by the Health Order?
A8) Encourage your student-athletes to take all the recommended precautionary actions, including wearing masks, social distancing, and avoiding social gatherings. Additionally, student-athletes should be encouraged to not interact socially outside of their immediate home.
Q9) How does this affect wrestling hydration testing?
A9) Hydration testing will be postponed till at least November 24. More information on the rescheduled hydration dates will be available in the coming weeks.
Q10) How does this affect debate, drama and solo/ensemble?
A10) The only UHSAA fine arts activity in active competition under UHSAA jurisdiction currently is Debate. Debate will cease all UHSAA sanctioned competitions, similar to the other winter activities, for a period of two weeks until November 24. Decisions regarding plays, concerts and other fine-arts performances will be the responsibility of local member schools and districts. Students may continue to attend academic classes that are focused around a UHSAA-sanctioned activity, provided there is no outside competition.
Tryouts Have Been Postponed
Due to the governor's mandate and per UHSAA guidelines, all basketball activity has been postponed for now. I wish I had more information for you or could give you a definitive schedule for the future, but as of now, I cannot. My advice is to continue to work on your game, work on your conditioning, and work on your grades and I will post our plan when one becomes available to me.

Tryout Handout
Summit Academy Basketball Tryouts 2020-2021
This is the important information you need to know:
Players should go to registermyathlete.com and begin the process of becoming eligible to play immediately, before tryouts. There is a processing fee RMA collects. This money does not go to the basketball program and is separate from the fees listed below. The most time-sensitive aspect of the process is getting a physical from your doctor.
If you are experiencing any Covid-19-related symptoms, you should not come to tryouts. Contact Coach Baird at summitacademybasketball@gmail.com and we will make arrangements for you to tryout at a later date.
If football’s season conflicts with basketball tryouts, athletes playing football will be allowed to tryout at a later date, after the football season comes to a conclusion.
Tryouts are Monday, 11/9, and Tuesday, 11/10.
Monday, the freshman/sophomore tryouts will be from 3:00-4:30, and varsity will be from 4:00-6:00. Tuesday varsity will tryout from 6:00-8:00; freshman/sophomores will be from 7:30-9:00.
All freshmen and sophomores must attend that tryout and need to have permission or an invitation to tryout for varsity.
You must be academically eligible from Quarter 1 to tryout. Anyone who has more than one F or below a 2.0 is not eligible to tryout. You must maintain above a 2.0 and have no more than 1 F in Quarter 2 to remain eligible. Bear in mind, this is the minimum - we expect academic excellence from every player.
The results of the tryout will be posted on the team blog at summitacademybasketball.blogspot.com.
We will keep somewhere between 12-15 players on varsity, and somewhere between 10-15 players on the freshman/sophomore team. The JV will be made up of players from both the varsity and the frosh/soph team and will not practice separately.
Practice will begin Wednesday, 11/11.
Our typical practice schedule is this: Mondays and Wednesdays 3-6, Tuesdays and Thursdays 6-9, Fridays 4-7; Saturdays either 8-10 or 10-12.
Our complete practice and game schedule can be found on the team blog.
There are $250 in fees for basketball: $100 participation fee, and $50 for each of the three following categories: Equipment, Uniform, and Tournament.
Players are also obligated to raise a minimum of $250 dollars. This can be done by soliciting donations from friends and family members, local businesses, or any other source. Fundraising is an essential part of maintaining our basketball program - it helps offset offseason fees, augments the in-season fees we collect, helps pay assistant coaches’ stipends, and helps cover the cost of things like gear, the banquet, and so on.
Players will be able to keep their practice gear, but game gear needs to be well-cared for and returned at the end of the season. There is a $100 fine for game gear that is damaged or unusable beyond the normal wear and tear.
Team rules and expectations are simple: Respect the space we’re in, respect one another, respect yourself. If these are your guiding principles, you will always represent our team, program, school, and community in a positive way.
