Many have asked questions in relation to COVID-19 and the ODP procedure. We have spoken to the Rockford Park District and have confirmed that the group sizes still remain at 25. Groups will be divided by last name in the appropriate size age groups.
What if someone test positive for COVID-19 at ODP...
We have adjusted the schedule to accommodate a 14 day quarantine period for all age groups. Although not ideal to change the schedule we feel that the gap between sessions allows us to provide an opportunity for players to attend as many sessions as possible.
What if there is a government shut down...
Our goal is to complete all of the ODP training sessions. If there is a shutdown, we will postpone ODP sessions until we are allowed to return. Any missed sessions will be made up. We have tentative dates scheduled as potential makeups.
Who should I contact if a player test positive or has been in close contact with someone who tested positive...
Please email Rico at
odp@illinoisyouthsoccer.org as soon as you are aware of a positive test or you have come in close contact with someone who has COVID-19.
Illinois Youth Soccer Association will adhere to all the state guidelines which include:
- 6 feet social distancing
- Mask must be worn at all times (including while playing)
- No spectators
- Groups of 25 with proper spacing between multiple groups
