Warner/ASG's COVID-19 Response

PHASE 1: We will continue to enforce social distancing guidelines per the CDC. Phase 1 will limit any training sessions to groups of 4-6 players to one coach. There will be no contact between players and these sessions will be more technical based. Players will not be allowed to congregate before or following the training session and will be ased to immediately return to their vehicles following the session. Players will be asked to leave their personal belongings and water bottles on the perimeter of the field with at least 10 feet between players. Coaches will be required to wear masks if they are within 10 feet of players and there will be no physical contact such as "high fives" or "fist bumps." Parents will also be asked to remain in their vehicles during the duration of the session. 

PHASE 2:  Phase 2 will be initiated once FYSA and USSF guidelines become more relaxed. During this phase we will grow our small groups to 10 players maximum. Small sided games such as 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, 4v4, and 5v5 within these small groups will be allowed. During this phase, the rest of our guidelines will still be in place. 

PHASE 3: This will be our final step before our full return to play in the fall. Phase 3 will including slightly larger interclub matches with numbers up to 7v7. All of our remaining guidelines will remain in place. 

1) Group Size 

Each small group will be between 4-6 players to one coach. 

2) Arrival 

Each small group will arrive 10 minutes prior to their starting times. Designated drop off locations will be adequately marked at the practice site. 

3) Parents

Parents are not permitted to attend these small group sessions and can either park and wait in their cars or return once their player is finished with the session.

4) Physical Contact 

Coaches will ensure that all players and coaches avoid “high fives,” handshakes, or other types of physical touching. 

5) Masks

Coaches will be required to wear masks during training sessions. Players will also

be allowed to wear masks while training, but this will be a personal choice of the player’s parent of guardian. Hand sanitizer will be available but players should also have their own for personal use.

6) Necessary Equipment

Players will need to provide in their soccer bags, a ball, their own water bottle, hand sanitizer and a towel if necessary. Players will place their bags in assigned areas that will be spread at least 10 feet from each other. Please have your player arrive fully dressed in shin guards, socks and cleats.

Pennies (if needed) will be provided from the club to each player and then collected to be laundered at the end each session. Pennies will not be shared with other players.

7) Coaching Restrictions 

Coaches will handle setting and cleaning up all training items including cones, goals, etc.

Coaches will also avoid having players stand or assemble in lines or small groups. Coaches will alter their training methods to incorporate appropriate social distancing (maintaining 6’ distancing between players when providing instruction, etc.).

8) Special Thoughts

ASG will assign staff to be physically present to monitor fields and facilities and ensure that players maintain appropriate social distancing throughout the small group training. All training equipment will be sanitized after each session.

9) Pick Up

Players will be dismissed at designated pick up areas. Parents may drive and pick up their player or walk up while maintaining social distancing from others to pick up their player. 

ASG has the right to ask your player to leave a session if they are sick, have a persistent cough, running a temperature or displaying any symptoms suggesting that they may be ill will be prohibited from attending the training and asked to leave. Our first priority is the health and safety of our staff, coaches and players. Any player that does not comply with the guidelines will be asked to leave and no money will be refunded.

ASG also has the rights to cancel or postpone the training due to COVID-19. ASG will follow all state and city guidelines in regards COVID-19 and will update any procedures as they are added.
