Each group will be assigned their own equipment which will be clearly marked and stored in separate bags and will NOT be used by other groups. Should a group be missing or in need of additional equipment or replacement equipment, it will be issued as new or used ones will be thoroughly washed and sanitized.

Equipment staff will collect and store all equipment daily and will sanitize each set of equipment periodically throughout the day and at the conclusion of day.
