As tryouts draw nearer we wanted to inform you about how we will operate at tryouts in the current situation.
· We will enforce social distancing with the players whenever this is possible.
· Limit body contact
· Maintain group sizes to less than 50 people
· Spread the groups out as much as possible
· Coaches and players are asked to wear masks to and from their assigned tryout field and during check in. The mask can be removed and then placed in their back pack during the tryout. If there is a health or religious related reason not to wear a mask then this will be honored by Rush coaching staff.
· It is not recommended to wear a mask during the tryout as this will block airflow and this then becomes a safety issue. Players can wear a mask during the tryout should they wish, however, we do not recommend it.
· We are asking parents to not attend tryouts to reduce the amount of people at the facility and not to congregate in the parking lot
Due to the nature of tryouts, there will be brief moments of body contact. According to the Medical experts in a recent study analyzing 800 hundred contact hours of youth soccer training and games /competitions showed the average time of constant physical contact was 5-6 seconds. Per CDC, soccer is considered a moderate risk sport in regard to training areas where social distancing practices are not adhered to and actual soccer games is considered lower.
Please ensure your son/daughter brings an adequate supply of water as it will be in the mid 90’s. Please make sure the water bottle remains in their bag to avoid other people potentially drinking from it. Also, all current competitive players are required to wear their Idaho Rush practice gear – grey shirt, black shorts and black socks.
Thank you and please reach out if you have any questions.
