COVID-19 Protocols

NEW COVID-19 Updates

With the situation concerning the global pandemic developing constantly, we will be following guidelines set by state and local governments. Currently, masks are not required for outdoor sports groups and venues as stated by California and local guidelines. HOWEVER, if you would like your child to stay masked up during practice, that is not a problem. If you would like our coaches to also wear a mask during practices, please email matt@socalyouthsports.com prior to the class and be sure to speak to your coach at practice.
