The Return to Play Committee is currently reviewing SYC guidelines for the Fall 2022 season. Updates will be posted ASAP.
The SYC COVID-19 Guidance/Policies below has been updated and includes safeguards based on the uncertainty of the different COVID-19 variants spreading rapidly. Please note this policy/guidance is fluid. National and local authorities could change COVID-19 guidance at any time. If that happens, the SYC Return-to-Play (R2P) Committee will re-visit SYC’s COVID-19 Policy/Guidance and adjust accordingly.
If you have any questions, please email the SYC Return-to-Play Committee at return2play@sycva.com

*NOTE: Depending on the venue where the SYC activity is taking place, masks may be required.
Masks are highly encouraged, but NOT REQUIRED.
No sharing of personal equipment (water bottles, gloves, etc.)
Recommend wiping playing equipment (balls, etc.) at least twice a game (beginning and halftime or between quarters/periods).
No Daily Check-In. However, if a player or family member is exhibiting COVID-like symptoms, please follow the guidelines above based on your vaccination status.
Report any positive COVID-19 cases associated with youth sports to the SYC Operations Manager (County requirement).
Traveling SYC Teams will follow the established COVID-19 policies of the host club/venue while participating in their events.
Please note that Fairfax County has changed its policy regarding masks indoors at its facilities, including the gyms used by SYC. Masks are no longer required, although you are certainly free to wear one if you choose to do so. SYC follows the policy of the owner/operator of the building in which we conduct events, so for SYC indoor events at FCPS schools, masks are not required of either participants or spectators.
Players may choose to wear masks or not wear masks while actively playing. That is a family decision.
No sharing of personal equipment (water bottles, gloves, etc.)
