Javelin Sports Makes Returning to Sports Games COVID-19 Friendly

Javelin Sports announces the launch of its new Health Checklist feature on their mobile app. In the wake of the COVID-19 global pandemic, sports clubs and teams are struggling to safely return to sport. For that reason, Javelin Sports has integrated three new features into its sports management app: health screening, waiver signing, and contact tracing. These features protect sports organizations by reducing their liability and ensuring that coaches and athletes are healthy as well as aware of potential outbreaks before they occur. 

Javelin Sports’ in-app health screening process is a series of checks that enables coaches to track the health of their players. The app also features contact tracing by tracking all individuals that attend an event. Lastly, their mandatory waiver signing allows sports organizations to avoid risk and reduce liability. These three areas allow Javelin Sports to reduce the risk of a COVID-19 outbreak in an organization and help clubs if an outbreak does occur.

Launched on June 11, 2020, Javelin Sports’ new Health Checklist feature has aided hundreds of sports organizations as they return to sport. “The thing we’ve found that is most important in reducing the chance of an outbreak occurring is that organizations demonstrate from the top level that they are managing the risk of transmission. This, in turn, helps foster a culture of players holding each other accountable,” says Justin Ford, CEO at Javelin Sports.
