This is a general list. Please consult PA Department of Health and CDC hygiene and safety protocols which must be followed in all stages. We are committed to immediate action and communication to impacted families should we receive word from any of our members. We have

tried to be thorough with creating policies and plans to keep all our players, coaches, and families safe.

***Failure to comply with these terms may result in removal from the camp: We have used information from public health officials to create these guidelines, but in no way guarantee that communicable diseases, including but not limited to COVID-19, will not be present. People actively infected with communicable diseases might be present. Implementing these guidelines does not guarantee that a person or persons will not contract COVlD-19 or other communicable diseases from persons or contact within the camp.

DAILY SELF-ASSESSMENT: If you are not feeling well, it is simple, stay home

1. Have you been tested for COVID?
2. Have you been in close contact with someone who has COVID?
3. Do you have a sore throat? Do you have a cough?
4. Do you have a new loss of taste or smell?
5. Do you have a fever? Is your temperature over 100 degrees? Please check your temperatureat home, daily.
6. Do you have shortness of breath or difficulty breathing?
7. Do you have chills or repeated shaking with chills?
8. Do you have a headache or muscle pain?
9. Do you have nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea?
10. Have you recently traveled Internationally or taken a cruise?

IF YOUR ANSWER TO ANY OF THESE QUESTIONS IS YES, DO NOT COME TO THE CAMP.

The reason behind this set of questions is being able to prescreen our players and their families. If we can eliminate those who are openly symptomatic or may have been exposed, then we dramatically lessen the risk of infection at our facility. This will lead to a better sense of safety for all. We hope to cut down on those who could carry the virus from entering the facility, but it is not absolute. It is a further layer of protection. NOTE: The confidentiality of all medical

information will be respected, and information will not be disclosed except as otherwise required and provided hereunder to effectuate the purposes and provisions of this health and safety plan.

CHECK-IN: Check-in procedure will be in place in which there will be staff members upon arrival. Please check in with your coach which you will be assigned to the first day.

EQUIPMENT: Players will be required to bring their own ball for sessions rather than use ours. Do not pick up another players ball with your hands, use only your feet to touch their ball. Players will not be permitted to move or touch the cones but bring their own if preferred. Parents please make sure to sanitize your child’s soccer balls and any other equipment before and after practices.

LUNCH: Players will be spaced out and practicing social distancing. Players will not share food or drinks. Players will be asked to sanitize their hands prior to lunch.

FIELD DEPARTURE: Please check out with your coach prior to leaving so we can keep accountability of the players.
