Reopening New York

On July 6th, 2020, the Governor has set forth guidelines for regions that have reached our surpassed Phase 3. The attached document, entitled “Reopening New York”, goes into detail the Mandatory and Recommended Best Practices guidelines in order to run the summer sessions as safely as possible, for both players and staff. Please review and refer to the “Reopening New York” document to familiarize yourself with the specifics and details of the state guidelines. Our staff and trainers will do the best to our ability to follow these guidelines. In addition, we are also implementing the policies below.

1. If your child has any sign of sickness (i.e., coughing, sneezing, fatigue, trouble breathing, chills, loss of taste or smell, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea, paleness, skin rashes, swelling), please keep them home. 
2. At drop-off, your child should arrive with a mask, and a bag with the following items:

   * Extra T-shirt
   * Extra pair of sneakers / cleats
