MU's coaching staff has virtually met with a member of the MN Dept. of Health and has been instructed on safe and healthy guidelines.
MU's staff will provide coaches with ongoing updates from the CDC, MN Dept. of Health, US Soccer, US Youth Soccer / MYSA and US Club Soccer / TCSL.
MU coaches will wear a mask at all times upon arrival at the fields.
MU coaches will set up cones at least 6' apart from each other off to the side of the playing area for each player to have a designated space. This will happen at practice and games.
At games, players on the sidelines or "on the bench" must have on a face covering or a mask.
Bibs or pinnies should be designated to one player and NOT shared. Once a bib or pinnie is used, a coach will wash the bib or pinnie before it is reused.
Only coaches should handle cones at the field.
During practices, MU coaches should direct players to keep physically distanced as much as possible.
MU coaches should continuously remind players of safe decisions. An example of this is when players are given a water break, coaches should remind players to keep physical distance and return out to the field as soon as possible.
MU coaches will diligently track attendance at all MU events to assist with contact tracing if needed. TeamSnap is the mode by which MU coaches will track attendance.
MU coaches will notify MU staff of any COVID situation by emailing "covid@minneapolisunited.org".
