We all want to get back on the soccer field for games.  One of the key factors for our return will be slowing the spread of COVID-19 and following the state issued health guidelines.

Wearing a mask is a simple and easy way to do your part and we want to highlight those of you who are.

Starting Monday, September 13, we will be launching our Mask On, So We Can Play On campaign, highlighting players, coaches, parents, referees and fans who wear their mask along with the reasons why, both for the soccer community and their community in general.

To be recognized simply email a photo of yourself wearing a mask and why you wear it. It can be soccer related such as 

“So my team can get back to playing games” or beyond the soccer world such as “to keep my grandma safe.”  Each Monday, we will select one submission to highlight and the winner will be showcased on our social media accounts and get a $10 Jimmy John’s gift card.
