Good afternoon everyone!
As a community, we continue to face new challenges as we head into the fall. All of us here at WSA are doing everything we can to keep our players and you, our members, safe during these trying times. We wanted to send out a few CRITICAL REMINDERS and UPDATES to you as we head into our second week of Travel sessions and our FIRST week of Rec sessions ... as always, please visit the COVID-19 Info link at the top of the www.windhamsoccer.org home page for a complete list of links and to State of NH and NHSA protocols and WSA guidance.
- Before ANY Player or Coach takes the field, they must have an executed COVID-19 waiver on file. If a waiver has not been received, they will not be allowed on the field for ANY reason, without exception.
- Before each session (e.g. practice, game, etc.), Coaches should remind players that if they are not feeling well, they must notify them right away so that proper measures may be taken
- Any player not feeling well or that develops symptoms during the session should be escorted from the field of play and asked to stay there until a parent can be reached to escort the child to the car and bring them home.
- Physical contact outside the game (field of play) must be strictly avoided.
- High 5’s, handshakes, fist bumps, hugs, etc. are unfortunately not allowed at any times
- Players are required to wash or sanitize their hands prior to and after training
UPDATED NOTE: For the players safety, until further notice, WSA REQUIRES that players not involved in active play wear their masks on the sideline/bench areas unless warming up or taking a drink from a beverage
- UPDATED: During practices, parents/guardians for Teams U8 and Below are encouraged to remain in their cars in a designated parking area. Parents/guardians for Teams U9 and Above are required to remain in their cars in a designated parking area. However, when/if watching from the sidelines they should maintain a safe social distance AND wear a mask, even when proper social distancing is possible. Spectators other than parents/guardians are not permitted at the field for practice. If outside of their cars in the parking area, they should maintain a safe social distance and/or wear a mask when social distancing is not possible.
- UPDATED: During competitive sporting events, parents/guardians and spectators shall remain outside of all “in play” areas and shall maintain physical distancing while watching events. They should be at least 6-feet from anyone from another household. Masks MUST be worn even if proper social distancing is not possible until further notice
Again, we thank you for your support and understanding during these difficult times, and for being patient with us and with each other as we work through this for the benefit of our players
