Delaware County is in the Green phase and as the weeks move on, we follow the stages of Eastern Pennsylvania Youth Soccer Association (EPYSA) as a guide for our club, teams and coaches to follow.

We understand many are still unsure if it is safe to play.  Listed below are the precautions we are doing as a club.  If your family decides you do not want to participate in our practices or programs, that is understandable and is your decision as a parent.

Governor Wolf recently published a list of states where people need to self-quarantine for 14 days if you have been in one of those states in the last week. Please have your child NOT attend training.   COVID-19 Information for Travelers
