CYS Requirement for Continued Face Mask Use Policy

We are eager to have our athletes return to training and are continuing to monitor the CDC and local guidelines within Fairfax County and the Commonwealth.

To follow Virginia, Fairfax County, Fort Belvoir mandates and CDC guidelines, we will be implementing the following procedures:

- For the safety of our coaches, volunteers, and athletes, we will require parents and all visitors entering the practice area to wear a face mask/face covering upon entry. Athletes are not required to wear a mask during practice.

We encourage all athletes to use the restrooms before arriving at practice to reduce the risk of gathering in groups and interrupting practice sessions. All athletes must utilize the hand sanitation area before the start of practice.

- We have CLOSED PRACTICE SESSIONS. Parents, guardians, and siblings are NOT allowed in the practice area. This helps us maintain our participant number requirements.

- If you or your athlete are experiencing illness (fever, respiratory illness, coughing, etc.), we ask that you and your athlete stay home. If you or your child have been exposed or believe in having been exposed to someone with COVID19, we ask that you refrain from attending practice. If your child becomes ill or experiences symptoms during practice, you will be asked to pick up your child ASAP.

- Athletes that have contracted COVID19 or been in close contact are required to isolate for the recommended quarantine time and will not be able to return without a negative test result

We look forward to seeing your athlete soon!
