RULE CHANGE: The ball should only be touched by goalkeepers and game referees. During regular play when the ball is kicked out of bounds it should be placed by the referee or kicked to the restarting spot to eliminate the amount of physical contact with the ball. If the ball is kicked into the bench area during indoor play the referee should place the ball for the restart or switch out the ball being used. While playing on the outdoor field instead of a throw in when the ball is kicked out of bounds, we will be only allowing the ball to be kicked in. No throw ins will be allowed.
SPECTATORS: Spectators are limited to immediate/essential family members until informed otherwise. Signage will be placed throughout the facility to assist with social distancing of at least six feet.
PINNIES: The usage of Soccer Sportsplex game pinnies will be eliminated indefinitely. We advise teams to coordinate an alternate team color shirt in the event two teams are the same color.
GAME BALL: Game balls will be sanitized or switched out at half-time and switched after every game so balls are not shared with other games.
SELF-ASSESSMENT: Game officials, players, and immediate/essential family members must conduct daily symptom assessments. Anyone experiencing symptoms must stay home.
MASKS: Coaches and officials will be recommended to wear face coverings at all times and players recommended to wear face coverings when not on the field of play unless for one of the designated reasons set forth by the State. Entering and exiting the facility/field, masks are required.
SANITIZER: Hand Sanitizer/Hand Wash Soap will be provided and available at the entrance, restrooms, team bences, and concession area.
CLEANING: Soccer Sportsplex will continue to routinely clean all high touch surfaces including but not limited to: door and dasher board handles, light switches, counters, toilets, faucets, sinks. Daily automatic scrubbing of floors and deep cleaning of restrooms. Restrooms have been added to the outdoor field to reduce the need to enter the facility.
Congregating before or after games will not be permitted. We kindly ask that teams vacate the team bench areas immediately following their games to allow the next team to enter and begin warm-up.
INCLEMENT WEATHER: In the event there is inclement weather, outdoor Sportsplex Winter Session games will be moved indoors at the same time so games stay on schedule.
