HPD Family,

Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced yesterday the second phase of the State of Texas’ ongoing plan to safely and strategically open Texas while minimizing the spread of COVID-19 (Executive Order GA-23).  Under Phase II, the Governor has issued guidance on the restart of Youth Sports Programs (GA-23, Pg. 5-6, 21.C). 

Effective May 31, 2020, youth sports may begin holding practices without spectators other than one parent or guardian per participant, as needed.  Those sports may begin holding games or similar competitions, with or without spectators, on or after June 15, 2020.  Spectators should maintain at least six feet social distancing from individuals not within the spectator’s group.  HPD is ready to move towards full team training for its youth teams with appropriate safeguards and protocols for the health and safety of all players, staff, coaches, and parents.

Stay tuned as coaches will soon be communicating the times, location, and protocol of upcoming training sessions for the month of June 2020. 

*Please review the emailed Minimum Standard Health Protocols Checklist for Youth Sports Operators and Families.

Monthly Dues:

The High Plains Drifters Soccer Club understands that during this unprecedented time a large segment of our soccer family has been affected one way or another by the COVID-19 Virus and/or quarantine period.  The Board of Directors have decided to waive the collection of dues for the months of April, May, and June 2020.  Those that elected to pay in full, will receive a credit against next year’s dues.  Let’s all work together and do our part to ensure we have a fresh start come July 1st.   

We appreciate you and your support more than ever as we navigate this dynamic situation.  

Sincerely,

HPD Board of Directors
