When to Stay Home

If you or someone in your home have signs/symptoms of illness of any kind such as fever, cough, headaches, loss of smell, etc… Please stay at home and contact your CoVid-19 Assessment Centre. 

Your household must be free of illness for 14 days before you can enter the dojo. 

Before coming to class

Before coming to class, from computer or mobile device please conduct assessment through online form https://yorkcentrekarate.com/covid-19-declaration/

Or you can download, print, fill out, sign and bring to training session paper form from https://yorkcentrekarate.files.wordpress.com/2020/09/covid-19-screening-checklist.pdf

At arrival we will take temperature (if possible) and will take contact information from all persons entering dojo for tracing.

Arrive in Your Uniform

Access to changing rooms is closed until Ontario’s “State of Emergency” has been lifted.

Please arrive in your uniform and be ready to start class on time. There is a 5 minutes window before class when you won’t be crossing paths with the students of the prior class.  Please bring your own water bottle filled with water.

Use of non marking shoes or other feet covering like dancing shoes, water socks etc is mandatory.

Staggered Class Arrival and Exit

Arrive 5 minutes before the start of class. At the end of class athletes and parents must leave the dojo with 5 minutes after bowing out. This procedure helps to prevent crossing each other on the staircase. 

Physical Distancing

At any time, any person inside dojo must maintain 6 feet or 2 meters distance. As per guidelines of our public health and Karate Canada, we designated training pods (shown by cones on all 4 corners) to accommodate individuals and families. Each pod of 2 square meters or more is further separated by another 2 meters for instructors.

No spectators allowed in the class, except for adult who is accompanying minor for training. However, that person will not be able to stay in the same room as training session is taking place  and will have to keep physical distance and facemask all the time.

No socializing allowed before, during or after training sessions, neither for instructors, students nor accompanying persons.

Face Masks and Facial Coverings and other guidelines

For the health of our community, York Centre Karate will comply with our local mask and face covering by-laws and will continue to adapt as we learn more about CoVid-19.

1. All persons inside premises (that include entrance, exit, stairs etc) must wear mask
2. Only students can take their mask off inside their pod and only if they have medical condition and only during training . Please bring a bag to keep your mask inside during training. If you leave your pod you must wear mask again, for example to go to washroom.
3. We encourage you to use provided sanitizer after removing mask and try do not touch face as much as possible.
4. Equipment cannot be shared between students unless it was sanitized between each use.

Sanitizing the Dojo

Before the start of classes each day, we will try to clean as much as possible.

Between classes, the door handles and equipment will be sprayed and/or wiped down with a disinfectant.

After classes, the dojo will be cleaned.
