  5. Each players will have their own individual Personal Equipment Area" (PEA) marked on the field next to each team’s training area. Each player’s PEA is denoted by a Red or Orange line on the field. The PEA is where players will store all their belongings, including water bottles, throughout the duration of practice. Only one player per PEA, unless two players reside in the same house hold.

  6. Players must bring their own water bottles to practice, as water will no longer be provided by club until further notice. There will also be absolutely no sharing of water during practice time. 

  7. After screening and sanitaion, players are to walk directly to their team’s practice area and find an open PEA to put down all personal equipemt, then proceed to the sanitation station to sanitize hands and any other desired equipment.

  8. Players must identify their Personal Equipment Area (PEA) and remain in their area until they receive further instructions by the coaching staff. This will help to ensure 6 feet of separation is kept between players at all times. During water breaks or other personal breaks, players are to only visit their own PEA.

***Players will be asked to sit out or be sent home if they don't follow any of above guidelines.

As long as all guidelines are followed, we should be able to continue to have soccer be part of our "regular" lives again!
