Everyone inside the bubble will be required to wear a face mask.

There will be several games a day at one primary site once play resumes on July 30, but the league will take a few hours between games to sanitize the court and area.

Players will be able to leave the bubble on Disney’s campus, but will be subject to a two week quarantine and will have to test negative for COVID-19 twice before returning to play.

The league told players that it will not suspend play in the event of several positive cases, but would look into stoppage if an outbreak did occur.
