CFJ North Shore has committed to follow local and state guidelines regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. We will be adjusting our programming, schedules, and staffing as result. Please find links to the Illinois Department of Public Health Guidelines here that we're following.
Additional information from the club and IYSA is below.
Any player who has been in close contact, as defined by the IPDH, must contact us so we can follow the proper communication protocols for our club.
Soccer is a Moderate/ Medium risk sport.
Registered players will be asked to complete a TeamSnap Health Check on the TeamSnap app before arriving at training. This additional measure takes only a few minutes and asks basic self-check questions to players about COVID-19 symptoms. This should be completed for all club events (training and gamedays). The TeamSnap Health Check will be available 8 hours before an event.
If players are experiencing any symptoms, then they should not attend any club event (training or gameday). Players are encouraged then seek a COVID-19 test at a state or local government testing center, healthcare center, or other testing locations.
WHAT TO KNOW FROM THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL (CDC)
This list does not include all possible symptoms. The CDC will continue to update this list as we learn more about COVID-19.
RESTORE ILLINOIS PHASES
PERSPECTIVE
All rules and guidelines were taken from the Illinois Youth Soccer Association (IYSA), Illinois Department of Health, and Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
We ask that everyone remains flexible and understand during a time when these guidelines and rules may evolve as more information is known and/or more rules/ guidelines are created.
Soccer will remain fun, challenging, and social, but it will not look the same as in previous seasons. We will prioritize players’ safety and do our best to give players a chance to play, compete, and learn during a time that is socially and emotionally challenging our community.
Planning for the unknown means we will ask everyone to be prepared for changes in schedules, operations, and personnel as information and guidelines evolve.
BE RESPECTFUL
Respect is one of the club’s core values. It is also especially important in matters of health. You must report positive results. You are to respect the privacy of all families, individuals, and others who you may suspect were the traceable link to the team. The Club will keep any names that are reported to it confidential unless required to disclose the names to a government public health department or the Centers for Disease Control.

ACTION STEPS IF A PLAYER OR COACH TESTS POSITIVE FOR COVID-19
WHEN A TEAMMATE OR COACH TEST POSITIVE
If a team participant including but not limited to players, coaches, managers, trainers, etc. tests positive, the entire team must quarantine. The team/club must advise the other members of the team, the opposing team’s coach/team manager, the League or Hosting Organization, and submit the name of the COVID-19 positive person and a list of the persons with whom the COVID-19 positive person came in contact to their local Department of Public Health. With the exception of the Department of Public Health, the name of the COVID-19 positive person must remain confidential.
If there is a positive test on the team, players on the team will not be allowed to train until after a 14-day quarantine and after the player tests negative in two consecutive COVID-19 test that are at least 24-hours apart and have medical clearance from a doctor to return to training.
WHEN A PLAYER AT THE CLUB (NOT YOUR PLAYER’S TRAINING SESSION) TEST POSITIVE
If a team participant of another team in the club, but not your player’s team tests positive, including but not limited to players, coaches, managers, trainers, etc., then the Club will determine which groups can be traced to and will be effected by quarantine. With the exception of the Department of Public Health, the name of the COVID-19 positive person must remain confidential.
WHEN AN OPPONENT WE PLAYED RECENTLY TESTS POSITIVE
If a team participant of another team tests positive, including but not limited to players, coaches, managers, trainers, etc., the other club should contact our Club. We inform the group(s) of the relevant information and may have quarantine. With the exception of the Department of Public Health, the name of the COVID-19 positive person must remain confidential.
WHAT IF A FAMILY MEMBER TESTS POSITIVE?
Anyone who has come in contact with someone who tests positive for COVID-19 must quarantine for 14-days and advise their team/club thereof. If that person shows any signs or symptoms of COVID-19, he/she must immediately contact their healthcare provider and advise their club.
Anyone who tests positive for COVID-19 must quarantine for at least 14-days and not show any signs or symptoms of COVID-19, have no fever for at least 72-hours without fever-reducing medication or have 2 negative COVID-19 tests in a row with testing being done at least 24-hours apart and submit to their Club/League prior to returning to activity a signed written clearance from a medical doctor showing that the person has been cleared to participate. For friendlies/tournaments, the team/club must advise the event’s Hosting Organization. For league games/practices, the team/club must advise its League.
WHAT IF MY PLAYER’S(S’) TEAM HAS TO QUARANTINE?
The Club will try to reschedule all games that are missed and try to offer additional tournament/ showcase play if the club the schedule allows, and the opponent cooperates.
Fall 2020 training that is canceled due to "shutting down" a team will be pushed back into November.
Credits/ refunds will be discussed only if a team does not receive a full set of league games due to a suspension of play, or, a quarantine.
