Our Safety Guidelines and Practices

EDGE Soccer Programs is dedicated to the safety and health of our players, families, staff, and coaches and is our highest priority. We have been and will continue to monitor & follow CDC, NCDHHS, state, and local guidelines closely for our safety protocols to keep Edge families & staff as safe as possible.

Below are our updated protocols as per CDC and NCDHHS guidelines as of 2/28/2022. We will continue to follow CDC and NCDHHS recommendations/guidelines for our safety protocols to keep Edge families & staff/coaches as safe as possible.

Earlier this week (week of Feb 21), Gov. Cooper held a press conference to provide an update on the State & NCDHHS mask recommendations. Wake County has also updated their indoor mask policy and the CDC has updated their mask guidelines.


As a result, EDGE is adapting our response based on the data and will move to a RECOMMENDED BUT OPTIONAL MASK POLICY for any players and campers participating in programs at Edge. This will also now be our policy for any spectators watching any sessions at Edge. This update goes into effect Monday, February 28.

We feel this updated policy allows our players, parents, staff, and coaches to make a decision about their mask based on their own comfort level, medical conditions they may have, personal family situations, etc. Every person's comfort level in various situations is different so please choose what is best for you and/or your child. Edge supports everyone's decision about whether to wear a mask or not, and there will be no bullying or comments made to anyone about whether they are or are not wearing a mask. We have been and will continue to be a supportive, inclusive, and respectful community

ALL Edge coaches, staff, and camp counselors are fully vaccinated.
