INTRODUCTION
As we return to soccer in the spring season, our highest priority remains to provide soccer opportunities in a safe environment. The policies below have been developed by our COVID-19 Task Force made up of professionals in the soccer, medical, and education communities and in conjunction with support from various government agencies, healthcare providers, and governing bodies for soccer.
The policies below will give parents, coaches, and players an idea of what to expect to see when returning to training as well as the increased responsibilities we all will need to undertake to ensure all our participants can continue to train and develop safely. And while we are confident that the steps below are in line with all directives we’ve received, parents should feel comfortable making the best decision for their player as it relates to participating in soccer at this time.
As we move towards the 2021 season and progress through North Carolina’s phased approach, we expect to provide additional updates to these policies. The policies are subject to change to accommodate additional directives from the State of North Carolina, the NC Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and soccer’s state and national governing bodies.
We look forward to seeing you on the field soon!
