UTEP spring practice keeps going through virus scare Wochit
The UTEP athletics department has been planning for months for a safe return from the coronavirus lockdown and now they are ready to implement it.
Miner football coach Dana Dimel is hoping for a mid-June return with an all-volunteer group of 45 athletes to resume off-season conditioning that was put on hold in mid-March.
The volleyball team will conduct physicals for half the team starting on June 11 but won’t hit the gym until June 22.
The hope is that 45 will become 90 by July, the team will be a full-go by August and the Sept. 5 opener with Texas Tech will be played as scheduled.
“We’re going to start to bring kids back on a voluntary basis on June 15,” Dimel said. “We’re going to keep our numbers in the 40s, right now 45 guys are coming back. It will be 45 guys better served being here, the other ones will be better served being at home.

“We looked at things like how well are they eating, how well are they training. If they are eating well, the gyms are open, they are training well, they will stay at home.”
If all of that goes well, and if players contract COVID-19 plans could change, the goal is to have 90 players (the full roster is typically between 100 and 105) back on July 1.
As for what the June workouts will look like and all the procedures around them, that has been the subject of much thought.

“They’ll get screened, then they’ll go to the field, then to the weight room, then to the locker room and the showers,” Dimel said. “There will be no group meetings, it will all be virtual on Zoom. If they want to do individual, one-on-one meeting with coaches, they can maintain social distance. We don’t want kids coming and going.
“They come to do their work, then go home.”
Dimel said there will be two workout groups of 22 or 23. Masks will not have to be worn outdoors, but will indoors so the athletes will be lifting weights wearing masks. New masks will be issued each day. A training tent will be set up outside.
Summer offseason conditioning is always non-contact, but now this will extend to things such as sit-ups and stretching, where players won’t be able to spot each other.
“We are leading the way on this,” Dimel said of the football program. “Everybody, (athletic director) Jim (Senter), (director of sports medicine) Dawn Hearne, (head trainer) Tony (Cordova), (strength and conditioning coach) Kevin Schadt have done a great job getting everything structured and ready to go.”
What is certain is that for the Miners to be ready for Tech on Sept. 5 they will have to be back in a fully normal routine by August.
“We have to have a restart by August 1, we’ve got to have a normal camp,” Dimel said. “It will take four weeks to get guys into shape. I think things are moving in the right direction.”
The timetable for volleyball is similar, with roughly half the 21-player roster checking in on June 11 and the other half on July 6. The first group will be players currently stationed closer to El Paso. That includes the only international player, Latvian Irbe Lazda, who stayed here during the lockdown and just moved back into the dorms.
“We’re hoping by mid-July we can play a little volleyball, maybe two-on-two, three-on-three, four-on-four eventually getting back to 6-on-6,” coach Ben Wallis said. “We’ve got a scrimmage set up for August 22 against Grand Canyon at Memorial Gym, that’s still on, and if all goes well, we’ve got Tulane and Incarnate Word and potentially (New Mexico) on the weekend of August 28-29.”
As is the case with football, Wallis said his team needs to get going by the beginning of August to be able to hit those playing benchmarks.
Late Thursday UTEP athletics made the reintroduction timetables official.
“It is important for us to bring student-athletes back to campus in a thoughtful and deliberate fashion, one that ensures we are following best practices and meeting CDC guidelines for the sake of everyone’s health and safety,” athletic director Jim Senter said.
“We know that until a vaccine is developed, we will have to live with the virus and must learn to mitigate the risk of catching it. Bringing Miner student-athletes back to campus is a huge step toward achieving some sense of normalcy.”
Per a press release, limited numbers of student-athletes from cross country, soccer and volleyball will be integrated for voluntary workouts beginning the week of June 22.
Limited numbers of student-athletes from men’s and women’s basketball and track and field will be integrated for voluntary workouts beginning the week of June 29. Student-athletes from all other sports will be eligible to return to campus for voluntary workouts starting the week of July 6.
As with everything else, all is subject to change, but UTEP has been preparing for the next step forward for some time.
