Fall 2020 Registration (Training Work Group)
Registration Deadline: Friday September 4, 2020 (form received in Park Office drop box - don't pay fee yet)
You do not have to live in Saline County. All players welcome!
Due to state COVID restrictions on youth soccer programs, we cannot offer our traditional fall recreational soccer program. We can offer small work group training & scrimmage sessions from within a training work group "bubble". At this time, there will be no contact play outside of the assigned training group. Each training work group will train/scrimmage a few times per week over the course of about 8 weeks or so. We hope to begin after Labor Day.
We are going to restrict registration to ages 6-15 for both boys and girls. Boys & girls will be separated unless league approves a mixed gender training work group.
The fee is $20 per player. We are sorry but we cannot except any fee waivers. We made the fee as low as we possibly could to make it affordable. Once a work group has started, there will be NO refunds for any reason. We have fixed costs for insurance and field maintenance and mowing whether anyone is using complex or not. We are all assuming risks together.
A work group will consist of approximately 8-14 players. There will be contact scrimmages during the sessions. We cannot guarantee placement in a work group as we cannot guarantee a coach. Therefore, payment will not be due or accepted until your child has been assigned to a coach and training work group. We do not want to have to process refunds for players not assigned to a training group.
Players should for each session: Bring ball with name on it, drink for hydration (with name or initials on it), wear shin guards and soccer cleats, wash and sanitize hands and clothing worn, use the restroom at home to minimize bathroom use. Any players who may be playing Goal Keeper during scrimmages must provide their own gloves and these gloves may not be used by any other player in the group.
Parents should for each session: Screen player for COVID or flu like symptoms, potential exposure to infectious disease. NOTIFY A COACH ABOUT ANY CONCERNS WITH EXPOSURE OF THEIR CHILD OR GROUP. WHEN IN DOUBT, DON'T COME OUT.
ONLY REGISTERED PLAYERS AND COACHES ARE ALLOWED ON THE FIELDS. Parents may stay and view the training session from their cars if they wish. Siblings not registered and involved in a training session will not be allowed on fields etc. Drop off and pick up encouraged to minimize number of people at the facility.
Player benches and patio picnic tables WILL NOT BE USED BY ANYONE.
All parents and Coaches should review the Small Work Group Training Program.
