COVID-19 Update

Over the past week, we have heard a lot about the Coronavirus and how it has had an affect all across the world and in sporting events across the country. Revolution United Sports Group continues to stay up to date on this information from our partners at US Soccer, US Youth Soccer, and New Hampshire Soccer Association. Currently, we have a small number of teams participating in session 2 of indoor soccer at Fieldhouse Sports. As of this post, there has not been a change in their schedule and the facility would be who makes the call on any cancellations. Futsal, through Northeast Premier Futsal League has been suspended until further notice.

Planning for the next few weeks, we will continue to monitor, however our Spring soccer season is currently on schedule as regularly planned with the New Hampshire Soccer League. If there are any changes, they will be communicated out at a later time. Revolution United Sports Group is implementing a temporary hold on any training sessions or off season competition (not including indoor soccer) until April 1, 2020. Spring teams should not be getting together in a training or scrimmage format until that date.

Below is information received today, from New Hampshire Soccer Association

Based on the current information and facts, it is recommended that everyone be familiar with the best practices and protocols set forth by the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Several events across the country have been canceled or postponed, however we feel at this time, all soccer in the granite state can go on as scheduled. With that said, please be respectful of individual or organizational decisions. Please be mindful of the facilities and venues we play in, especially schools and decisions they need to make regarding usage. If you are traveling out of state, please be aware of the situation at your destination and follow traveling recommendations ( CDC link below)

Best Practices for Health
There is currently no vaccine to prevent the Coronavirus. The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed. Everyday preventive actions should be taken:

• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
• Stay home when you are sick.
• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
  • If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Always wash hands with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty.
• Follow the CDC’s recommendations for using a facemask
  • CDC does not recommend that people who are well wear a facemask to protect themselves from respiratory diseases, including Coronavirus.
  • Facemasks should be used by people who show symptoms to help prevent the spread of the disease.
