As we return to training, our children are going to be training at a higher intensity than the summer.   We have linked articles that could help your soccer players with their preparation for training and games.  The second link is an informative guide to recovering from training and games.  Both articles give reasoning and rationale of what you eat and how it can help or hinder your performance.

With the uncertainty and unease around travel, SLFC is in the process of organizing a pre-season events with several other clubs in place of the usual Labor Day Tournament.

We are working hard behind the scenes to provide all teams with an alternative to a labor day tournament. Many families are uncomfortable traveling and being amongst large tournament crowds and staying in hotels. As a club, we should not put them in such a position. We will keep it local and keep it safe.

Spirit of Liverpool USA is pleased to announce that the Governor of Massachusetts, this morning recategorized soccer into a moderate risk sport.  This reclassification allows for soccer players and teams to participate in scrimmages and contact activities.  We are cautiously optimistic that this will allow us a give our players a more meaningful athletic experience.

However, we will continue to uphold the high standards of cleaning and social distancing at our facilities and practices.  Our players and parents will still be required to socially distance on entry to exit from our facilities. and on the sidelines.  Players will still be temperature checked on arrival to practice and will have their own safety zones for water breaks etc.

The conditions surrounding COVID-19 are evolving daily, and we are regularly following all local and national updates.

The health and wellbeing of our friends, families, and participants are paramount to what and who we are.

It was also stated that families that have been outside of New England will be required to quarantine for 14-days before return to play.
