Games and Training

Holiday Travel
Washington clubs are required to enforce the Governor's quarantine policies for times when players travel. Please take this into consideration when planning any travel, especially as we enter the mid-winter break or Spring Break travel windows. We rely on each individual player to keepcoaches informed of anticipated travel and to follow the most current quarantining procedures (especially as the policies can be subject to update). This will greatly help them plan for training and games.
-Travel Advisory for Non -Essential Travel, Individuals are subject to self- quarantine for 14 days after returning home from travel. Quarantine time may be shortened with a negative result from a COVID test taken 6+ days after arrival home.

Updated September 2020:
With the governor's office releasing new guidelines for youth sports, Washington Youth Soccer has detailed the RCL return to play. Under those guidelines, youth soccer clubs that meet criteria can begin contact-based training as well as league games. "This is an exciting time for us as we are now able to resume more familiar training sessions," said Media and Communications Director Aaron Libed. While there are still safety protocols that are in place, being able to have more normalcy with the teams is incredibly important."
Under the new guidelines, counties the clubs are based in must meet case and positivity requirements in order to lessen restrictions. To be able to play matches, each county must be between 25 and 75 cases per 100,000 as well as have a positivity rate of less than 5%. The RCL understands that not all counties (and their clubs) will meet that requirement concurrently. Even with differing restrictions, many clubs are able to train together as well as resume some league matches.
With the announcement, many Eastside FC teams took to the field over the weekend and played intra-club friendlies to prepare for the upcoming season. Other teams have changed their focus to small-sided games at training.
