COVID-19 PROTOCOLS

Jon Akin Soccer COVID-19 Camp Protocols

Jon Akin Soccer is dedicated to providing a safe environment for our players, staff, and community as we restart full activities. To begin, all of our staff members are fully vaccinated. We seek to uphold a standard of care consistent with all government and youth soccer association guidelines. As we enter a new phase, we require all participants in our organization to adhere to the following protocols, which are subject to change, given the new and shifting nature of the situation. As your family evaluates whether or not your player(s) will take part, please thoroughly review the protocols with your child and ensure they understand the expectations Jon Akin Soccer will have of them.
