Both on and off the court, coaches and athletes need to be able to communicate clearly. Lack of visual cues and expressions can have an impact on games and performance, as athletes look to their coaches for guidance, instructions, and morale.

With the ClearMask™ Transparent Surgical Mask, coaches can safely communicate with their athletes and not worry about their players missing out on critical cues that can make or break a game. In an environment where noise is everywhere, players and coaches can seamlessly and clearly communicate.

For specific populations, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggests transparent masks as an option. Per the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), employers should provide face coverings to all workers at no cost, and must consider reasonable accommodations for those who require clear coverings.

Please refer to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance on providing transparent masks for use in K-12 schools and colleges and universities. Under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), students and parents are entitled to “effective communication,” and participants in an education setting can request a reasonable modification to existing mask policies, including alternative face coverings such as ClearMask™ transparent surgical masks.
