We hope to find you all in good health and good spirits during this interesting and challenging time in our lives. To comply with the federal and state government directives on social distancing, all sanctioned soccer activity is further suspended through April 30.
Furthermore, Governor Wolf has issued a stay at home order for 22 counties, most of which make up Eastern Pennsylvania. Please practice appropriate physical distancing and hygiene measures, stay home where necessary, and hopefully we’re all going to be healthy and able to see each other back on the fields in good time.
Until such a time that we may play again, there are considerations for you to be aware of as you navigate this situation.
- Youth soccer is non-essential business. Please adhere to the government directives being put in place for everyone’s safety. Compliance is key to “flattening the curve.” Any training or practices being held are non-sanctioned and are not covered by Eastern Pennsylvania Youth Soccer insurance.
- Clubs and coaches are using technology such as Zoom, Facebook Live or Facetime to interact with their players. Any type of active training, with simultaneous on-line instruction is not sanctioned by Eastern Pennsylvania Youth Soccer and is therefore not covered. Meetings and discussion groups may take place, when abiding by the approved policy.
- Please be aware of such policies, as directed by the federal SafeSport Act, on player and coach interaction. You can view the complete policy on our website, but most importantly refer to Appendix B on Digital Communications between any adult and a minor athlete. All interactions must be observable and interruptible by either a parent or another adult.
