Phase 3: Safety Guidelines

As new information and data have become available, LakePoint Sports is currently in Phase 3 of its reopening plan for events in the Champions Center.

During Phase 3 of reopening our campus, providing a safe environment for athletes, coaches, and families on campus and our team members and our local community remains the top priority for LakePoint Sports. It is important for all guests to know that our team went through a thoughtful and methodical process before moving into phase 3, including hundreds of safety guidelines as well as federal, state and local requirements.

While on campus, we encourage you to continue practicing safe distancing and proper hygiene. Safety guidelines are posted around the campus and at LakePointSports.com/SafetyGuidelines. Adherence to these guidelines is vital to maintaining a safe environment for everyone on our campus.
