The California Department of Public Health on December 14th, 2020 issued guidelines for youth sports (pdf). Based on the information contained in the guidelines, California aims to reassess the return-to-competition by January 4th, with January 25th, as the earliest possible start date for inter-team competition. In addition to these key dates, the guidelines also cover a range of topics to assist in future planning, including Sports Risk Profiles that classify different sports by their level of contact and transmission risk, and a new four-tiered system to identify sports by the level of contact and risk.

Sports programming in our children’s lives is of vast importance. Athletics plays a critical role in a child's development, socially, emotionally, and physically. The current pandemic has presented many challenges, but we hope that these resources will help our membership adapt to the socially-distanced environment we live in today. The pandemic has certainly forced us to discover new ways to add value to players and families, and you may find that these value-adds are worth keeping even after the pandemic passes.
Since our inception in 1969 our mission has been to make soccer the preeminent game in California, and this includes bringing the game to all communities including those who are disabled and underrepresented.
