Midstate Athletic Community Center

Hybrid Drop-In Care

The MACC is happy to announce we will be offering drop-in care for ALL student- athletes during the 2020-2021 scholastic/fall sports season. Our schedule will include opportunities such as Dry Land Sport Specific Training, On-Ice Skills, and engaging movement activity breaks for all. This program will operate as a Hybrid-Learning Center, giving students access to on-site proctors in an educational focused environment.

The MACC is in the process of transforming its plentiful space into COVID- friendly classrooms. Each of these opportunities will be available within the same building, giving parents/guardians a safe and structured academic and athletic schedule to rely on during work hours.

Whether your child is a hockey player, cheerleader, football player, figure skater, diverse athlete, or a student who wants to join a healthy learning environment, the MACC academy is the place for them to strive!

Students will need to contact Senior Manager Brendan Flanagan ([email protected]) for the days and approximate time they will be dropped off/picked up.

Students will be assigned a designated classroom prior to arrival at the facility (based on birth year). Upon arrival at the facility students will check in at the front desk where they will have their temperatures checked and sign into their classrooms. Our virtual learning spaces will be set up in a social distancing manner where student athletes will have their own workspace for the given day distanced 6 feet apart from their peers.

Masks will be required at all times throughout the facility except when sitting at their designated workspaces for the day or while training on ice/off ice. These workspaces will be disinfected at the conclusion of the day for the following days students to come into a clean safe environment.

Our classroom proctors have experience as teachers, tutors, and as coaches. We feel we have an advantage offering a productive learning environment over other alternatives, as our proctors can relate to our students as well as act as positive role models who have succeeded as student athletes in the University setting.
