Starting June 1, schools are permitted to open weight rooms for use by all student-athletes as long as they follow the same guidelines as fitness centers/clubs, gymnasiums, health clubs, and health spas. Organized team practices for baseball and softball may begin unless circumstances dictate a change in date starting June 18. Baseball and softball games may begin unless circumstances dictate a change in date.

Ricketts is encouraging Nebraskans to take advantage of the outdoors with appropriately socially distanced exercise through May 31.
