UPDATE to Return To Play Policy
Current Ph3G with local Seattle fields as of 5.10.21

Seattle RATS teams are following state, local and league protocols including any local field protocols as follows:

- Some RATS games will be 100% masks as indicated in the match notes: this is due to one or both teams opting into wearing masks no matter what the local field protocol is
- All Seattle Public School Fields: all players, coaches and officials are required to wear masks 100% of the time including during play (there are no spectators allowed - but officials are not dealing with spectators this is for the team managers to deal with)
- All Seattle Parks Fields: masks are optional for players/officials on the field during play and required for all coaches, subs and any spectators
- All Shoreline Public Schools: masks are optional for players/officials on the field during play and required for all coaches, subs and any spectators
- All Shoreline Parks: masks are optional for players/officials on the field during play and required for all coaches, subs and any spectators

Overview - IF YOU ARE WORKING AT A SEATTLE PUBLIC SCHOOL OR A MASK ONLY MATCH THEN ALL ARE REQUIRED TO WEAR MASKS 100% OF THE TIME.

What does this mean for you?
- Wear your mask all the times no exceptions when required
- Require all players to wear masks before the start of the game when required
- Remind the team manager/captain and players during your pregame on games that require masks that if players are not wearing their mask during the game appropriately that they will be asked once to fix it, the second time they will be asked to leave the field to get help adjusting their mask so it will stay on appropriately just like any other equipment issue (shin guards) and if there is a third occurrence a caution (yellow card) will be issued to the player and they will be required to leave the field again to have their equipment fixed. Additional issues would result in a second caution.

Questions - please reach out to either Romes or Larry for more clarity as needed.
