Re-Opening Information

The Tiger Activity Center is a unique space and partnership that provides access to facilities for both students, staff, and the community at large. As a result, this facility is both a fitness center and school site. The District has worked, and will continue to make the best decisions possible, to provide equitable access for members and students during this unprecedented time. The dual nature of this facility, however, will require enhanced organization and communication due to differences in guidelines by state officials governing the two uses. Please note that changes to this plan will evolve as recommendations from the CDC, MDH, and/or MDE are made available.

Due to the new/updated State guidelines starting December 19, the following rules will be strictly followed:
  1. Reservations are required to use the weight room, circuit room, walking track, and basketball courts at the TAC. No walk-ins are allowed for the weight room, circuit room, walking track, or courts. Only members or guests with reservations will be allowed to use the TAC.
  2. A new requirement for fitness centers to re-open is that masks are required to be worn at all times, including while working out. Enforcement of this requirement will be strictly administered.
  3. Use of Hoops: Basketball hoops will be restricted to a single player or members of a single household. Hoops must be reserved ahead of time by calling 763-972-7605.  You can also send the TAC an email for a reservation at tac@delanoschools.org.  NO walk-ins are allowed for the use of the courts.  
  4. At this time, the pool is closed. We anticipate re-opening the pool on January 11, 2021, although this date is subject to change by the state.
  5. Only 10 people are allowed to sign-up to use the weight room, circuit room, and walking track during a time-block. If you intend on using both rooms, you have to sign-up for consecutive time-slots (ex. Weight Room - 10:00-11:00 am & Circuit Room - 11:00-11:30 am). You must use the spaces you have signed up for during the time you have them reserved. You will not be allowed to float between rooms.

Memberships
If you have an annual membership that expires on/after December 19, 2020, your expiration date will be “moved” forward 28 days to reflect the time the TAC has been closed.

If you have an annual membership that expired between November 21 and December 18, your expiration date will be adjusted to reflect the number of days we were closed during your membership period. 

Monthly memberships will be removed from “hold status” effective December 19.  

Members Who are High Risk for Covid-19
If you are 65 years old or older and/or have an underlying health condition that puts you at high risk for Covid-19, you can opt to restart your annual membership at a future date. Please contact the TAC office if you would like this option. (763-972-3365, ext 1201)
