Seacoast United has created a list of Frequently Asked Questions in an effort to help guide our member families through the company's COVID-19 protocols.

Q:  How is Seacoast United making decisions regarding COVID-19?
A:  Seacoast United's priority continues to be the health and safety of the players and staff at our club.  Each decision, policy, and procedure is based on recommendations and guidance from the Center for Disease Control (CDC), and directions from local health authorities and published state guidelines.

Q: What is your current COVID-19 policy?
A: Published documentation from Seacoast United can be found on our websites:
New Hampshire:  www.seacoastunited.com/covid-19
Massachusetts:  www.seacoastunitedma.com/covid-19
Maine:  www.seacoastunitedmaine.com/covid-19
Policies may be slightly different due to variations in guidelines by industry in each state.  However, CDC recommendations are consistent being a federal agency, but please note that local guidance often supercedes federal guidance resulting in tigher restrictions/policy.

Q: Are you implementing enhanced cleaning at your club?
A: At all of our locations, rigorous health and safety practices are being followed.  Fields and indoor facilities are receiving special cleanings at increased intervals.  At the heart of it all is a thorough support of handwashing practices for our staff and the children under our supervision.  We have also established enhanced safety protocols for families to follow during this time.  

Q: What is the Return to Play policy of the club if someone is showing symptoms or has a confirmed case of COVID-19?
A:  If vaccinated or unvaccinated, please click HERE for more information on the return to play process. 

Q: What is considered close contact?
A: Close contact is defined by the CDC as:  
1. Being within approximately 6 feet (2 meters) of a COVID-19 case for a prolonged period of time and can occur while caring for, living with, visiting, or sharing a health care waiting area or room with a COVID-19 case, or 
2. Having direct contact with infectious secretions of a COVID-19 case (e.g. being coughed on).  Considerations when assessing close contact include the duration of exposure and the clinical symptoms of the person with COVID-19.

Q: Who are considered "household members"?
A: Anyone living, staying or working in the household on a regular basis (e.g. nannies, caregivers, home health workers, contractors, etc.) and anyone with childcare pick-up or drop off privileges.
