Hello LPSC Families,

In response to the global COVID-19 pandemic, the Capital Soccer Alliance (CSA) has decided to cancel inter-club recreational games for upcoming Fall 2020 soccer season. This decision has been made in order to best protect our communities from potential exposure to the COVID-19 virus and to reduce the likelihood of unnecessary transmission through close contact during recreational sports activities. During a meeting of all CSA member Clubs held on June 24, 2020, this unanimous decision was made for the following reasons:

• In the weeks prior to the meeting, reported cases of and hospitalizations due to COVID-19 were increasing locally;
• Local public health officials and US Soccer have not yet released guidelines on how to safely conduct competitive/recreational soccer games (current guidelines that have been released only cover conditioning activities for athletic training);
• Many of the fields that we use are owned by local municipalities, and the fields still remained closed for sanctioned sports activities; and
• We are concerned about placing an undue burden on volunteer coaches to implement appropriate social distancing guidelines that would have to be emplaced for public safety

The CSA partner Clubs did not make this decision lightly. We are all committed to providing a safe environment for the youth of our communities to experience the sport of soccer. Unfortunately, the unprecedented circumstances of the global COVID-19 pandemic have created a scenario where we do not believe that we can effectively create a safe environment for all of our registered players. Please stay safe and we hope that we can all return to play recreational soccer in 2021.

Land Park Soccer is committed to the health and safety of our players and families. At this time, we will not be registering players for a Fall 2020 Recreational Season.  The board is actively looking for alternatives to a regular season, such as smaller programs like camps and clinics. We will be providing updates as we work towards these goals.

Thank you for your continued support of LPSC, we appreciate all of our coaches, players and families. We miss you all!
