No coaches or other athletes physically present during training.

Phase 3: Public health authorities allow contact sports, which includes soccer, with limiting activities exclusively to no-contact drills, practices, and simulations of game situations as of June 22nd. • See NJ Department of Health’s “Guidance for Sports Activities” (pages 3-8)

Phase 4: Public health authorities allow contact sports, which includes soccer, to resume traditional practices and competitions. • No training or competition restrictions • No sharing of water • At risk individuals should still take precautions or follow the direction of their medical providers. • Players & families are asked to refrain from practices and games if they are feeling unwell, including but not limited to fever, chills, GI upset (diarrhea/vomiting), coughing, sneezing, etc. Players will be asked to leave the field if they arrive and are not feeling well.
