We ask that only one parent or guardian accompany each child attending a session. Parents, please bring your own chair or blanket and maintain six feet from parents and guardians who are not in your school pod or cohort. Children will be guided in maintaining social distancing rules of six feet, marked by cones. Children must bring masks, will be provided hand sanitizer prior to the start of class, and will not share equipment. If you have questions about our safety protocol, please contact us at 626.817.2656 or [email protected].

Health & Safety on Soccer Island:

We have been diligently working behind the scenes to modify our curriculum and operating procedures to ensure a safe return to Soccer Island. All coaches will complete a mandatory health and safety course before returning to coaching.

During our sessions your coach will:

• Avoid high-fives, fist bumps and unnecessary physical contact
• Wear a face covering
• Use rings, spots or orange cones as “home base” to keep children six feet apart
• Designate one disinfected ball per child
• Remind children to “keep space so you don’t bump into your friends”
• Not distribute pinnies (scrimmage vests)
• Use a modified Soccer Shots cheer at the end of the session

Additionally, coaches will be sanitizing all equipment before and after each session and monitoring their temperatures daily. We will do our best to use smaller group sizes and/or larger field setups to allow for the distancing of participants and observers.

We are requesting that families attending in-person sessions follow these guidelines for the health and safety of other families and coaches:

• Wash or sanitize hands before entering Soccer Island
• Adhere to state and/or local jurisdiction regarding face covering requirements
• Practice social distancing by staying 6 feet away from others that do not live in your household
• Stay home when you are sick and keep your children home from soccer if they are sick
