Awards & recognition
Beach Blitz is committed to respecting the latest science and adhering to the latest restrictions and guidance from our venue, Orange County, and the State of California. We are outlining tentative protocols below which adhere to those current requirements. However, our protocols will change as the venue, county, and state update their requirements.
California guidance on masking in schools is rapidly changing. This section will be updated closer to the event. Should mask use depend on vaccination or test results, Beach Blitz may require self-attestation as appropriate.
Beach Blitz highly encourages everyone to get vaccinated, if able. Visit myturn.ca.gov to book an appointment today! Since Beach Blitz is expecting under 5,000 attendees, we will not be requiring written proof of vaccination or negative Covid tests.
We are thrilled to welcome spectators to Beach Blitz 2021! Spectators will be required to maintain a distance of at least three feet from anyone outside of their household. Beach Blitz may impose reasonable limits on the number of spectators per team to facilitate safe distancing.
Stick with your own team as much as practical, physically distance from others when possible, stay home if you were exposed to a positive case of Covid-19.
Wash your hands frequently and thoroughly, stay home if you’re feeling unwell.
There is currently no travel advisory for California. However, CDPH is encouraging those who are unvaccinated to delay travel until they are fully vaccinated and, if they do not delay travel, getting tested before and after. Beach Blitz will accept applications from teams regardless of their location and encourages teams and individuals to make responsible travel decisions.
