COVID-19: Returning to Play
We have always believed in the developmental benefits of youth soccer. Now, more than ever, families are looking for small ways to offer their children a sense of normalcy. We all need fun ways to stay active and healthy! If we approach this wisely, we can offer our players fun, engaging soccer sessions that maximize the benefits of soccer, while minimizing the risks of the current situation. We are taking extra steps to ensure the safety of our players and families during our on-field sessions.
Some of the steps we're taking:
-Hand sanitizing stations at each field
-Masks available for all coaches
-Physical distancing marked on the fields and sidelines
-Modified curriculum to limit contact between players
- No traditional game-play, 1v1, 2v2, etc
- Activities, games, skill challenges setup to maximize space between players
- Curriculum focused on:
- Technical skills, footwork, dribbling, and soccer moves
- Speed and agility
- Shooting games and challenges
- Passing and receiving
- Soccer IQ
We will also continue offering virtual training sessions via Zoom. This ensures families that aren't comfortable returning to play can stay involved.
We are thankful for the support of our families and will continue to work hard to serve you.
