Harding University indoor club sports began Jan. 12 with new rules for staying healthy and following COVID-19 regulations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe sports being played this semester indoors are basketball and volleyball,\u201d Recreation Program Director Tom Ritchie said. \u201cOnly spectators come to watch the games. They are required to wear a face mask and social distance as much as possible, and we will be keeping a watch out for anyone not following guidelines.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Indoor sports look different than outdoor sports, making it more difficult to navigate. Senior Kaitlyn Francois is a student manager in the Ganus Activities Complex (GAC) and said this semester\u2019s rules are not very different from last semester\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI see it as rewarding to how strict we were last semester,\u201d Francois said. \u201cBecause we were able to distance and keep cases low, we can now play more sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The rules have not changed that much. You must be wearing a mask unless you are participating in the sport … Also, you should be doing your best to stay socially distanced.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Francois said that she and the other workers are doing their best to implement the guidelines, such as mask-wearing, social distancing and regularly cleaning equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy opinion on the rules is pretty neutral,\u201d Francois said. \u201cI desire for everything to be normal; however, I understand that there is currently a pandemic, [and] sometimes we have to do things that frustrate us in order to do the things we love.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sophomore Maddie Adams, athletic director of women\u2019s social club Delta Gamma Rho, also said she appreciates having the opportunity to play sports with her club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI am very grateful we\u2019re getting the chance to play sports,\u201d Adams said. \u201cI hope that students and administrators show <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
