NEW YORK, N.Y., June 4, 2020 – New York City FC today announced that the Club will begin voluntary small group training this morning.
This comes after the Club’s introduction of voluntary individual outdoor player workouts on May 25.
After close consultation with our Chief Medical Officer and NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, NYCFC submitted a club-specific plan to MLS for approval. NYCFC will implement detailed health and safety protocols during these workouts. Physical distancing will be maintained within the group setting, with players remaining in designated zones.
Building on the health and safety protocols implemented for voluntary individual workouts, we will adhere to the following guidelines for voluntary small group sessions:
- Clubs must utilize outdoor fields as indoor training facilities remain closed to all players with the exception of those requiring medical treatment or rehabilitation, under the direction of the team medical staff, that cannot be performed from the safety of their residences.
