Update 11/10/2020;
Broomfield has been moved to "Level Orange" meaning all organized sports have been cancelled for the remainder of the fall season. We will continue to update membership as more info comes in and a return to play date comes into focus. Please stay safe and healthy through the time away from the fields!

Hello BSC families,
As you may have seen/heard, late last week CDPHE and the governor's
office came out with formal guidance for organized sports. In addition,
many of our members will be returning to school over the next couple of
weeks. Due to these developments, we've updated our player, parent,
and coach responsibility documents, which are linked at the end of this
email. The guidance for organized sports document is linked below as
well. Please understand that there are still different guidelines for
different locations, and this adds to, but does not supersede any local
requirements.
There are two key points to be aware of. First, if your child is
instructed to quarantine because of exposure at their school (or if they
have been instructed to quarantine by public health or a health care
professional for any other reason) this includes all soccer activities.
Receiving a negative COVID test does not override the need to
quarantine. Please keep them home and away from the team until the
quarantine period is up. Second, if your child does have a confirmed
case of COVID-19, they may not return to soccer activities until they
have received clearance from a medical professional. This is a change
from previous guidance and is meant to insure that they are likely no
longer contagious, have fully recovered, and are medically capable of
resuming participation with no lingering effects.
Please continue to mask up while at all games as spectators, and make
certain that your child is wearing their mask while going to and leaving
all practices and games, and while not actively participating. This
continues to be very, very important for us to be able to continue
playing.
One last note for those with away games. At many fields clubs are
having teams sit on opposite sides of the field with their fans on the
same side to allow for greater social distancing. This has presented a
challenge for referees who are unsure when substitutes are ready to come
onto the field. To fix this, CSA has requested that teams set up on
the "right" side (if standing in the center circle, the side to the
right, opposite the side that the AR is on). Linked below is a diagram
of the correct setup. Please note, at all Broomfield Soccer Club home
fields, we are keeping the same setup we've always used with both teams
on the same side, as there's more room for social distancing of
spectators this way.
As always, thank you for your help in following all guidelines. Though
they may not know it, all of the players truly do appreciate it!
