The Delaware Fall Invitational is coming this November!

The coinciding summer event annually attracts coaches from the top NCAA DI, DII, and DIII programs.

NXT Delaware Safety

Safety

We've been closely monitoring developments from the Governor John Carney and the Delaware Division of Public Health. With many of the schools in the state and around the country not hosting fall sports, there will likely be a lot of eyes on how club sports are executed. Please help us in creating a safe environment for our players and their families as well as demonstrating how sports can be safely run. 

The Delaware Division of Public Health's Guidance on Youth Sport allows for events of our size in tandem with our COVID-19 Safety Plan and strict adherence to their policies and procedures. Things will look different this year compared to previous years and what you're used to. We ask that you read the linked document above so that you know what to expect from us, what we expect from you, and what you can expect from your experience. 

 

COVID-19 Safety Plan for Fall 2020 Events

**Attention**

Message from NXT:

Due to social distancing protocols and Delaware State COVID regulations, there will not be face-offs and instead there will be alternating possessions. We understand this is not ideal for anyone, but necessary in order to have a safe and successful event for everyone.

 

Safety

 

Please refer to the link below for all the precautions we are taking this weekend. There is a video on there as well.

Symptom Screening
Each day, you should be completing a self-screen for symptoms of COVID-19. You can use this image to guide your self screening. If you have any symptoms of COVID-19, please do not attend our event. You should also screen your athletes prior to participating in any games for the day. A form to screen your athletes can be found here.


Masks / Face Coverings
Coaching staff and other adult personnel should wear face coverings at all times unless doing so jeopardizes their health. It is most important to wear your mask when you are speaking to staff, parents, officials, or giving a talk to your teams. If you are appropriately physically distanced from others, it is ok to take a break from your mask. Masks should be worn at all times when indoors.


Social Distancing
Social distancing should be observed where feasible (e.g., on the sidelines, before games and after games, when entering and exiting the facility). Unnecessary contact including handshakes, high fives, fist bumps, and chest bumps should be avoided. Team tents and tailgating are prohibited.


Water Availability
Water will not be made available on each sideline. Please instruct your athletes to bring their own water and not to share their water bottles with others.

For additional information and more detailed guidelines, please thoroughly read our COVID-19 Safety Plan.

The main parking lot will be available to all, but will likely fill quickly. If the lot is full, you will find additional parking in the grass directly in front of field 14.
