  • All social distancing rules will be in effect for any parent/guardian
  • Our 30 person protocol per field includes parents as well so we do ask that if you don't need to be out there then please wait in your car if possible
  • During hydration periods we do not want your child coming over to you

What are safety protocols?

  • No hugging, fist-bumping, high fives or any type of touching
  • We are only allowed 30 people in a field area so we will be setting out cones to mark off areas

  • Go to your vehicle and exit using the main entrance

· There is NO CHECK-IN required during this 2nd stage

We recognize that you may not feel comfortable attending a tryout session and we respect that decision.  Please contact the coach in your age group to tell them if you will not be attending so they may work with you to find alternate options.  If you are not sure if you should be attending then please contact the coaches in your age group.  

If your child is sick or injured please do not attend the tryout sessions.

We will NOT have restrooms available for public use so please go before you leave home.

A trainer will be on site for anybody that needs to be seen for an injury occurring during the evaluations.
