SOCIAL DISTANCING AT COPA STC
Training Spaces
All training technology within COPA STC will be operated on a touchless basis, preventing common/high touch points for athletes.
Sanitation wipes and hand sanitizer will be provided in each training space for use during the sessions by athletes and coaches.
We are eliminating any high touch equipment or need for athletes to touch any ball, cones, or other equipment with their hands.
When using our TOCA ball launchers, athletes will receive their own bag of sanitized soccer balls.
Curated curriculum designed to teach physical, technical, and cognitive development while maintaining social distancing of 6+ feet.
Where applicable, four athletes or less will be utilizing the training technology while four or less athletes wait in resting zones designated by floor markers separated by 6 feet.
COPA STC is temporarily suspending any exercises, games, or activities that would involve members playing against each other. All training will be individual training in their own personal space.
Training spaces will have designated entry and exit routes.
There will be a 15-minute grace period before sessions to account for sanitization between sessions and to limit the number of people in the building at any given time.
When exiting the building through the Turf Arena doors, athletes will be released from their training spaces one at a time to allow for social distancing and to eliminate any congestion points.
Common Spaces
All doors inside and outside of the building will be opened during business hours to limit unnecessary touching and for fresh airflow.
All cubbies and storage areas will be removed and members will be asked to bring as little as possible to sessions. One drawstring bag with a water bottle, shoes, and phone will be permitted.
The use of gear (mannequins, ball launchers, pinnies) will be highly limited and proper disinfection will take place after any use.
Only the re-fill feature will be accessible on the water fountains. Members are encouraged to bring their own water from home.
The vending machines will remain closed.
Members are asked to attend sessions alone to limit the number of people inside the building.

FAQ
Who is eligible to participate?
As a condition of returning to COPA STC, the County Health Department requires us to have you indicate during the registration process that your child has a parent or guardian that is an owner, an employee, a volunteer, or works for a company that contracts to provide services or materials to an Essential Business, an Essential Governmental Function, an Outdoor Business, or is involved in the Minimum Basic Operations of any business or organization.
How will billing work for current members with frozen memberships?
Current members will re-register for a new day and time on members.copastc.com. All current members will be credited the difference between their last billing date and membership freeze date (March 16th unless indicated earlier). The new billing date will reflect any outstanding credit on a member’s account. For example, if your new billing date is May 20th but you have an account credit of 10 days, your billing date will be updated to May 30th.
How will trainings look different with the social distancing protocol?
Sessions will look and feel very similar to how they have been in the past, while also taking social distancing into account. Our technology throughout the building allows us to have significantly less touch points by nature. The quality of the session will be held to the same standards as it always has been and we are excited to provide the same service with creative social distancing sessions.
What is the policy if a member does not follow the protocol?
We will strictly adhere to the social distancing protocols that we have put into place in order to keep our members and staff safe. Members that do not abide by the COPA STC Social Distancing Protocol will be warned and will have their parents notified. Multiple warnings may lead to the member being asked to leave their session and the member may not permitted to attend future sessions.
What is your mask policy?
All staff and any qualified spectator will be required to wear a mask or face covering inside the building. We highly encourage all members to wear a face covering or mask during their session.
Are parent/guardians allowed to attend sessions?
For peace of mind, one parent/guardian will be permitted to attend their athlete’s first session. After this, we ask that all members attend their sessions alone. The policy is in place to limit the number of people inside the building, and therefore reduces the risk of contact throughout the facility.
What if a member or coach gets sick?
In the event COPA STC is notified that a member or coach tests positive for COVID-19, the groups that involve that coach/athlete will be notified.
What if my child has to miss a session?
Currently, our groups must remain stable with the same grouping of members and staff. Until this requirement is lifted, we will be temporarily suspending re-scheduling. Any session that is missed will result in a make-up credit that does not expire. We will announce when make-up credits will be available to use. (you must still be an active member to use this credit) We will also be allowing unlimited cancellations due to illness. Please give notice by 9am the day of your session if you cannot attend due to illness.
Is there a minimum commitment when I sign up?
In order to provide you peace of mind during this uncertain environment, we are temporarily suspending our three-month minimum commitment. Memberships are month to month.
