KEEPING SOCCER ISLAND SAFE

We have modified our curriculum as well as our operating procedures to keep safety a top priority. Here’s what families can expect: 

Coaches will:

  • Encourage hand washing or sanitation
  • Avoid high-fives, fist bumps, and unnecessary physical contact
  • Wear a face covering if our state and/or local jurisdiction requires or recommends doing so
  • Use rings, spots, or orange cones as “home base” to keep children spread out when possible
  • Be the only one to clean up and put away equipment, like cones and goals
  • Remind children about the importance of keeping safe distances when practicing skills
  • Avoid the use of pinnies 

Coaches will sanitize all equipment before and after each session and will monitor their body temperatures daily. When possible, we encourage smaller group sizes and/or larger field setups to allow for the distancing of participants and observers. 

We request that families that observe sessions follow these guidelines for the health and safety of other families and our coaches:

  • Wash or sanitize hands before entering Soccer Island
  • Adhere to state and/or local jurisdiction regarding face-covering requirements/recommendations
  • 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
  • If participating in a Mini session (ages 2-3), we ask that only one family member per child be present on Soccer Island
