Texas Lightning Soccer Club

2020 Open Practice Schedule

RE-OPENING TEXAS

As many of you know, Governor Abbott outlined Phase II for the re-opening of Texas. As stated in the Minimum Standard Health Protocols for Youth Sports:

Effective May 31, 2020, youth sports may begin holding practices without spectators other than one parent or guardian per participant, as needed. Those sports may begin holding games or similar competitions, with or without spectators, on or after June 15, 2020.

Therefore, Texas Lightning Showcase/Youth Cup 2020 (June 5 - 7, 2020) has been cancelled

The Texas Lightning Summer Camp Session I ONLY (June 1 - 4, 2020) has been cancelled.

Texas Lightning continues to plan for the Puma Cup USA – July 17 -19, 2020. We will move the Showcase to the Puma Cup.

Following the Amendments that will need to be made, information will be updated on our web site.

PHASE II

Texas Lightning Club & Academy Managers & Coaches, as many of you know, today, Governor Abbott outlined Phase II for the re-opening of Texas. As stated in the Minimum Standard Health Protocols for Youth Sports:

Effective May 31, 2020, youth sports may begin holding practices without spectators other than one parent or guardian per participant, as needed. Those sports may begin holding games or similar competitions, with or without spectators, on or after June 15, 2020.

And: Health protocols for parents or guardians: £ Individuals should avoid being in a group larger than 10 individuals. Within these groups, individuals should, to the extent possible, minimize in-person contact with others not in the individual’s household. Minimizing in-person contact includes maintaining 6 feet of separation from individuals. When maintaining 6 feet of separation is not feasible, other methods should be utilized to slow the spread of COVID-19, such as wearing a face covering or mask, washing or sanitizing hand frequently, and avoiding sharing utensils or other common objects.

Therefore, training will resume on Monday, June 1, 2020 at Webb Community Park. If any parent is uncomfortable sending their child to training, please let your coach know. This will not be held against your child in any way.

For the next 2 weeks, coaches will continue to use ZOOM, however;

The Texas Lightning Coaches are eager to train their players and are looking forward to seeing you all!

Look forward to seeing you soon!

We think that a lot of parents and grandparents will be interested in these scarfs, especially when the cold weather hits and they can also be used as cheering banners at games. This would also be a great marketing tool for the club and would allow players to advertise the club at school and around town.

Thanks,

Jessica Geisel ,

Manager, 2012 Boys
