Dear Klein Soccer Club family,

I hope you all continue to be healthy and remain obedient in taking precautionary measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Recently, Governor Greg Abbott allowed his Stay at Home order issued back in March to expire on Thursday May 1st, allowing some businesses to reopen as part of Phase 1 of the Open Texas plan. Parks are open, but rules for social distancing rules (6 feet distancing) are still in effect and outdoor sports are allowed to resume so long as four participants are playing together at one time. So that means team recreational activities such as soccer will remain suspended until those restrictions are relaxed. Governor Abbott mentioned he will consider allowing additional opening and increased capacities ‪in two weeks‬.

With that in mind, Klein Soccer Club extends our league suspension to ‪Sunday, May 31st.‬

The Board encourages everyone to continue following COVID-19 guidance from our state and local officials. With Phase 1 of the Open Texas plan underway, we are cautiously optimistic about the club's return to play soccer again in the month of June.

As the Board plans for a possible return to play during a Summer month, please keep in mind that safety is, has been, and always will be our top priority. We WILL NOT have match play take place in dangerous heat index conditions. The heat index will be taken into consideration as part of our schedule planning, not to mention any necessary hydration breaks beyond halftime. Secondly, the KSC Board is expecting guidelines to follow from our association, USSSA, on return to play best practices for operating soccer events under relaxed or post COVID-19 restrictions.

The most important things for everyone to continue doing is:

1) take care of self and family,
2) practice social distancing, and
3) sanitize your hands according to CDC guidelines.

Hold yourself and love ones accountable to the above...it helps us all as a community take progressive steps towards enjoying the outdoors together again.

Kind Regards,
Edward Lindsay
President
