(KMZA)--COVID-19 protocols will be in place for the Seneca youth basketball leagues this winter.

Seneca Recreation Director Erin Toby provided an update on the program to the City Council at their December 16 meeting.

Toby said the Nemaha Central school district has approved usage of the gym for the program with some stipulations due to COVID-19.

The girls league will start practice the week of January 4, with games to be played on the four Saturday's in January, beginning January 9.

The boys league will start practice the week of February 1, with games played on the four Saturday's in February, beginning February 6th.

Teams will be limited to 5 or 6 players per team.

Each player or family competing that day will be allowed one adult spectator to watch at games. Spectators must wear a mask at all times.

No games will be allowed to go into overtime so they can keep start times staggered and ensure they have proper time to disinfect between games. Basketballs used will be disinfected between quarters.
