Field use guidelines
In order to return to play as safely as possible, the club will need to follow both our return to play
guidelines posted on the club’s website and these field use guidelines.

Practice Time Scheduling 15-minute gap
In order to avoid close contact between teams entering and leaving the fields, we will schedule a 15-
minute gap between the end of early practices and late sessions. This will allow players, coaches,
and any parents to leave prior to the next group’s arrival.

Entering and Leaving The fields
● Masks are to be worn while entering and leaving the fields
● Avoid gathering in large groups, try to use the fields as access rather than the steps.
● Go directly to your assigned practice field.
● Leave via the fields, again, avoid the steps when able

Team Admins

● Coaches will need to establish 6 foot distanced areas, using cones, for players to place their
belongings such as bags and water bottles.
● Each team will need an assistant coach, manager, or parent volunteer to do temperature
checks and hand sanitizing prior to practice.
● Players shall place equipment in their distanced zone.
● During water breaks, balls should be sanitized. Players will need to take the break in their
respective zones.
● Hands are to be sanitized at the end of practice...
