2 - Instead, we will repeat Thursday Grade 3/4 on Tuesday, giving us Grade 3/4 two sessions this week
3 - The Boys Olders (5/6/7/8) will remain on Wednesday as scheduled

Thanks,

Hello MYS Families!... Thanks so much for your cooperation this season, as everyone in our community is working hard to stay on top of rapidly changing COVID-19 protocols. I'm sure most of you have heard the news this week that the CDC issued new, relaxed mask guidelines for fully-vaccinated individuals. Please know that the City of Marlborough, and the BAYS Soccer League (where our travel teams play) have not yet issued new protocols for masks for on-field participants and spectators.

Players, coaches, and referees must wear facial coverings on the bench, sidelines, at all times and in any huddles or time-outs from active play. Spectators must still wear a mask while in the immediate vicinity of our fields, and must maintain at least 6-foot spacing between spectator groups.

Thanks again for your attention to these rules. I will send another update if/when we have new guidance. We're looking forward to another great weekend of soccer... The weather forecast is looking fantastic!

Sincerely,

May 9, 2021

During the Spring 2021 season, we will be bringing along quite a few brand new referees.  Please consider joining our ref ranks and always be considerate to our refs.  They are part of our community as well!

Dear Families… This week’s temperatures have all of us here at Marlboro Youth Soccer thinking about Spring!

Just wanted to take a few minutes to let you know what precautions our organization is taking this season to help keep our community safe from COVID-19. Like all local youth sports organizations, Marlboro Youth Soccer (MYS) is required to follow protocols established by the Commonwealth’s Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs, State governing bodies (Massachusetts Youth Soccer), and the City of Marlborough. At our meeting last night, the MYS Board of Directors approved a set of COVID-19 Policies and Procedures that are inclusive of all of these requirements. The full document is available on our website at http://www.marlboroyouthsoccer.org/Page.asp?n=120334&org=marlboroyouthsoccer.org.

Here are just a few of the policies and procedures that will be in place for our upcoming Spring season:

• Face masks must be worn by all players, coaches, referees, and spectators --- even during active play. Masks must completely cover the nose and mouth, and loop around a participant’s nose and ears. Gaiters and face shields are not permitted.
• Spectators are limited to 2 adults (Parents/Guardians or chaperones) and siblings of a player. Spectators must also maintain at least 6 feet of distance between spectator groups.
• Parents/Guardians and all adult volunteers shall not transport athletes that are not immediate family members. Carpooling is prohibited.
• Sportsmanship (while always encouraged!) will be touchless --- no handshakes / slaps / fist bumps.
• Players must bring their own ball, water bottle, towel, and PPE (masks, sanitizer, tissues) to each session.
• All shared equipment (e.g. cones, goals) will be sanitized before and after all clinics and scrimmages.

Parents and guardians play a critically important role in keeping our community safe. It is very important that you monitor the health of your child for fever, cough, shortness of breath, loss of smell/taste, or any other COVID-19 symptoms listed at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/symptoms-testing/symptoms.html. Your child must not come to soccer if they have had contact with a confirmed COVID-19 case in the last 14 days, or are otherwise quarantining under applicable state or local direction. A full list of requirements is available in the MYS COVID-19 Policies and Procedures.

As the MYS COVID-19 Compliance Officer, I invite you to reach out to me directly with any questions, comments, or concerns at . We’re looking forward to an exciting, fun, safe, and healthy season this Spring!
