1.
The safety of all of LS community—players, families, coaches, referees, staff and visitors—comes first in all planning and decision- making.
2.
Precautions are designed so all participants know what is required before, during, and after each event.
safety must be made at the micro (individual – player, parent, coach, etc.) and macro (organizational, community) levels.
I. Guiding Philosophy

The Safe Return to Play Roadmap is structured in Stages, to best align with Virginia’s gradual reopening. Our first activities were conducted under the state’s Phase I and II parameters, and our Stage 3 training will
transition through each additional Stage as external conditions improve and local health officials permit; however, a regression in those conditions may result in a return to a previous Stage. This roadmap is subject to change based on new information, resources,
return to play. Note: Yellow text indicates a parameter changing between Stages.
