EAA Return to Play Update, 6/23/20
EAA is committed to keeping our families updated on Return to Play guidelines for youth sports. We received some encouraging news from the Governor's Youth Sports Task Force last week that we wanted to share.
- Starting on June 24 or later, begin with inter-team scrimmages as part of practice.
- Two weeks later on July 8th or later, focus on playing teams in your local community, local club, or local organization.
- After another two weeks on July 22nd or later, consider expanding to teams beyond your local community, but consider COVID-19 case activity level and risk in those communities when making travel decisions.
This timeline begins July 1 or later, for Indoor sports (basketball, volleyball) , then follows the same two week at a time phase-in on July 15th and 29th, respectively. Additional details regarding game scheduling will be provided by your child's sport program.

WHO ARE WE?
Eagan Athletic Association (EAA) is a 50+ year old community led non-profit organization dedicated to the development of the community's young people through athletics. Our programs are planned, promoted and directed by unpaid volunteers who work together to strengthen the community. EAA provides supervision, instruction, uniforms and equipment for athletic activities.
HOW ARE WE GOVERNED?
The volunteer EAA Board of Directors is a policy-making body responsible for the smooth administration of its sports programs: baseball, basketball, football, lacrosse, rugby, soccer, softball, track, volleyball and wrestling. The EAA Board of Directors is guided by volunteer sport boards and/or a sport director.
WE NEED YOU!
EAA relies on participation from hundreds of coaches and parents who volunteer many hours of their time to the youth of Eagan. Click here to find more information about volunteering with the EAA as our success depends on you!
EAA Youth Safety Policy Requirements
EAA requires background checks every year for its board members, sport program directors, program board members, age group coordinators, coaches, assistant coaches, anyone who has direct dealings with children or direct access to financial information, as well as others, in order to ensure the safety and well being of EAA’s athletes and volunteers.

All coaches for Eagan Athletic Association programs are also required to have current CDC concussion certification, which is valid for three years from course completion.
APS Training is also required every two years. A link to complete will be emailed after successful completion of the volunteer registration/background check.

Players are expected to behave in accordance with federal, state and local laws and in a manner that respects the rights and safety of others, maintaining personal control and self-discipline. To help ensure this, EAA has established clear player behavior expectations and has further established procedure to support these expectations with appropriate consequences.
