SPRING SEASON UPDATE 5/13/20
Good afternoon,
I am reaching out today to offer what information we do, and do not, have in an effort to help you and your club make decisions on the immediate future SPECIFIC TO PRACTICING. I will keep it as simple as possible and not dive too far down the rabbit hole.
If the Governor proceeds with Phase 2 as it is designed on May 18 then:
The moment that we receive any updated information from the powers that be, we will communicate them as well as how it effects the content of this email and any prior Stryker communications.
Sincerely,
Larry Inlow
I am reaching out today to offer what information we do, and do not, have in an effort to help you and your club make decisions on the immediate future SPECIFIC TO PRACTICING. I will keep it as simple as possible and not dive too far down the rabbit hole.
If the Governor proceeds with Phase 2 as it is designed on May 18 then:
- The gathering mandates will be increased to 90 people per field but the 6 foot rule will still be in place.
- Assuming the Governor’s decision is to go forward with Phase 2, Stryker’s goal is to officially open for practice on Tuesday May 19.
- KSYSA
- Has not offered up any information to this point on their direction other than they hope to have a statement go out some time this week. Hopefully it will illustrate their plans moving forward both on the sanctioned competition side and the practice safety guidelines side.
- Stryker will comply with any KSYSA practice safety guidelines in addition to the ones outlined in our previous communication. Teams/Clubs are encouraged to employ their own safety policies/procedures in conjunction with the following:
- Hand sanitizer be present at the field(s) either with the coach and/or in the player bags
- Practice plans are prepared in advance and do not include contact drills such as scrimmaging
- If lines are required for the drill, have players adhere to the 6 ft rule
- Any team discussions need to adhere to the 6 ft rule
- Water bottles are not to be shared
- Stryker will comply with any KSYSA practice safety guidelines in addition to the ones outlined in our previous communication. Teams/Clubs are encouraged to employ their own safety policies/procedures in conjunction with the following:
- While practicing at Stryker the teams/clubs will be responsible for policing themselves and their parents to ensure the safety restrictions are followed
- Has not offered up any information to this point on their direction other than they hope to have a statement go out some time this week. Hopefully it will illustrate their plans moving forward both on the sanctioned competition side and the practice safety guidelines side.
- KSYSA League decision.
- I know this email is about practicing but the decision on the amount of desired practice time may be directly related to whether or not a league will take place from May 22 up to tryouts on June 19.
- Unfortunately, this is not an answer we will have until the KSYSA decides on when sanctioned competitions will be allowed to resume and travel bans lifted. Once this is announced, we all will immediately know if we will be able to play this summer or if Fall 2020 will be the next WRSA youth league.
- Spectators at Practice
- We understand that this is a sensitive subject and want to get the spectators back to the fields as soon as it is safe to do. Please help the parents understand that the gathering mandate of 90 persons per field counts the coaches and players and it will be easy to exceed the 90 with family members and spectators watching at the fields but difficult for the coaches to police. No coach wants to keep interrupting practice to take care of the parents on the sidelines or tell some parents they can watch and others they cannot. So until the gathering mandates are increased or lifted:
- Parents, siblings and spectators will not be allowed at the fields for practice and must either drop the player(s) off with the coach and pick them up after, or, simply park and wait in the car for the duration of the session.
- It should be noted that the coach of the team and the parents of any players who have medical conditions, like asthma, talk at some point prior to the session to get inhalers, or the like, sorted out for the sake of the player. I am sure that you all already had plans in place for this prior to COVID.

No coach wants to keep interrupting practice to take care of the parents on the sidelines or tell some parents they can watch and others they cannot. So until the gathering mandates are increased or lifted:
- NOTE: As with everything that is COVID related…all the regulations, restrictions and guidelines can change at any time.
The moment that we receive any updated information from the powers that be, we will communicate them as well as how it effects the content of this email and any prior Stryker communications.
