Return to Play – June 2020
After 11 weeks off the fields, we are both as excited and as concerned as we have ever been about returning to play after our break from soccer. The COVID-19 pandemic has changed our world and we want to express our thoughts and well-wishes to all who have been affected. And many thanks to all the new heroes; we appreciate everyone’s contribution to this unprecedented situation, which has enabled us to begin reopening in what will be the new normal...
-US Club Soccer authorized the return to play for youth soccer on May 18th 2020, pursuant to local guidelines.
-Governor Desantis authorized youth sports to operate again in Florida via Executive Order 20-131 dated May 22nd 2020.
-Sarasota County is scheduled to open fields on June 1st 2020 and Manatee County is scheduled to open fields on June 15th 2020.
The coronavirus pandemic is a volatile, changing situation, and Lakewood Ranch FC will continue to follow local, state, and national guidelines, and may change these policies without prior notice as mandated.
The health and well-being of our athletes and their families is our primary concern.
We encourage all our parents and athletes to keep informed of the latest information regarding COVID-19, for example by following the latest news through the CDC and other sources. We want everyone to be as comfortable as possible in returning to play.
There is no right or wrong answer… if you are not yet comfortable, please wait before returning to the fields.
The new normal will require effort and cooperation from us all. Our guidelines will be strict for all who return and parents must sign a waiver and bring it to the first practice in order for their child to enter the fields.
We’re looking forward to seeing you all safely back out on the fields in the near future!
