As we start the new year, I know everyone is starting to turn their attention to the Spring season. At the SoccerPlex we have been getting a steady number of questions about what will happen this year as it relates to COVID. Unfortunately, no one really has an answer for that question. That being said I think it is important for all of the clubs to have realistic outlooks for the Spring season. While I am no better at seeing the future than anyone else below are important factors and information, I have been able to obtain through research, contact with public health and elected officials, parks and recreation departments, and other sources.

CDC is responding to a pandemic of respiratory disease spreading from person-to-person caused by a novel (new) coronavirus. The disease has been named “coronavirus disease 2019” (abbreviated “COVID-19”). This situation poses a serious public health risk. The federal government is working closely with state, local, tribal, and territorial partners, as well as public health partners, to respond to this situation. COVID-19 can cause mild to severe illness; most severe illness occurs in older adults.
Different parts of the country are seeing different levels of COVID-19 activity. The United States nationally is in the acceleration phase of the pandemic. The duration and severity of each pandemic phase can vary depending on the characteristics of the virus and the public health response.
