EAA Update 10/30/20
ISD 196 announced a shift to distance learning for middle and high school students beginning the week of November 9th. At this time, EAA use of facilities will be allowed to continue. Buildings will be open per the previously scheduled dates and access will be provided based on the dates and times previously allocated to EAA programs.
We will continue to follow all guidance by MDH and ISD 196 to ensure the safety of our volunteers and players. In order to continue utilizing district space, we need coaches and players to remain vigilant to ensure they are wearing masks upon entry and exit of the building. Coaches are responsible for ensuring participants are following all guidelines. Buildings will only remain open for with full cooperation from everyone.
Looking ahead to the use of gym space, there have been some questions about games and the winter season (January-March). Given the state and local numbers of cases at this time, the district does not see a significant change to EAA's current use of middle schools and the connected elementary schools. They will continue to monitor to determine possible changes. They are following the guidance document from the state outlining the protocols for physical distancing. The middle school spaces and certainly not the elementary schools, are not big enough to accommodate spectators based on the state guidelines which limits the ability to host the in house games for the younger kids where spectators have always been present. (https://www.health.state.mn.us/diseases/coronavirus/sportsguide.pdf) Certainly, everything looks different than it has in past years. Practices, clinics, skills and drills are all possible.
Please refer to your sport program directly for further guidelines on any specific sport. We thank you for your continued support of EAA youth programs!

VOLUNTEER REQUIREMENTS
ALL parents from the MN Stars, 8U Travel, 10U League Only and all Tournament Travel teams are required to volunteer about 9 hrs (2 Dib shifts per player) at either the Eagan Down 'N Dirty Tournament in June or the Northern National Tournament that we host in July. This is our only form of fundraising for the entire program.
The revenue from these tournaments helps to keep our program costs down. These funds help pay for items such as: fields, umpires, team equipment, player insurance, tournament entries & gate fees, player clinics, and winter dome time that all EFP players can utilize.
A volunteer deposit of $250 is collected at tryouts. The check will only be cashed if your volunteer hours are not fulfilled by the end of the season. You can choose to forfeit this deposit in lieu of working your volunteer hours.
This applies to all traveling members of our Spring/Summer Leagues.
