Fullerton Rangers Activities Update

Dear Rangers Families,

In a time when so many people are experiencing so many struggles, I hope this email finds you safe, well, and content.

I remember vividly where I was when I first heard that our country was shutting down indefinitely in order to secure ourselves from the Coronavirus. It was a confusing time full of doubts, what ifs, and unknowns.

Our club has worked tirelessly over the last 17 weeks to try to find a way to bring back some form of normalcy for kids and their families. Our hope was to help kids rediscover what it is to be part of a team, to humbly succeed, to gracefully lose, and ultimately to be a better version of themselves. We believe that all of these are valuable life long lessons that benefit kids far beyond the boundaries of the soccer field.

However, in spite of the measures we have taken, there isn’t much more clarity in our country. In fact, the recent surge in cases both in our nation and in our county have resulted in the postponement and cancellation of numerous indoor and outdoor activities in our area.

Unfortunately, our organization is one of those that are forced to postpone all operating activities for the foreseeable future. We hope that our nation and state can work to remedy our current condition and that activities will open up again soon. Rest assured that when things do open up, The Fullerton Rangers will be there to provide your family with an opportunity to regain some form or normalcy and humanity that we all so desperately need.

What this means for you:

If you signed up to play soccer through our organization for the fall, you will not be charged.
We will communicate with you any updates we have and let you know if a season can happen.

We want to thank you for your interest and support of local youth sports. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you and your family soon.

If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions, please feel free to email bod20@fullertonrangers.com.

Fullerton Rangers Activities Update 2020.06.12

To all Coaches, Players, Parents, Families and Friends of the Fullerton Rangers,

It is with great pleasure and satisfaction to announce that Cal South, Fullerton Rangers, and the City of Fullerton, inclusively have lifted the activities suspension effective June 12, 2020. We are extremely thankful to all the task force committees involved in the development and implementation of return-to-play guidelines. These guidelines provide Fullerton Rangers the ability to move into phase 1 (individual drills/practice) activities, after a 3 month safer-at-home phase 0, with a gradual increase into phase 2 (scrimmages), phase 3 (team training), and lastly phase 4 (competition).

Fullerton Rangers competitive teams will resume practices effective June 15, 2020. Competitive teams’ staff coaches, team managers, players, and families will set the standard of excellence being one of the first youth soccer organizations in Orange County to return-to-play so quickly with metrics outlined to keep everyone safe as they navigate the distinct sets of phases. Limited spots are still available for players born 2013-2005 – register your interest here.

Fullerton Rangers signature tryouts were unfortunately delayed in early March due to weather and were tentatively rescheduled at the end of June. Unfortunately a difficult decision had to be made to cancel open tryouts this year given the limited preparation time. In the event that Cal South does not provide confirmation of the Signature League by June 19, 2020, 2019 fall teams will be provided the opportunity to participate in the competitive CSL (Coast Soccer League) this fall season. We encourage all those that registered for open tryouts in March to register for our recreational league to secure a place to continue to develop your skills. Questions can be directed to signature@fullertonrangers.com.

Fullerton Rangers recreational registration is currently open, with late registration beginning July 4, 2020. Teams are expected to return-to-play in August with practices as early as August 3, 2020. Modifications have been made to the recreational season, which can be found on the registration information page. As a volunteer operated level of play, we are always looking for Head Coaches to ensure that all players are provided the opportunity to participate – without your support we would be unable to continue our 55th season as one of the North Orange County’s most successful soccer programs. Questions can be directed to help@fullertonrangers.com.

Fullerton city has created a specific web page for information that is based off factual information and guidance from the Orange County Health Care Agency and CDC. The website is www.cityoffullerton.com/coronavirus. As this health situation continues to evolve, the above website will primarily be used to transmit information and public education and ask that the public use official agencies, such as OC Health Care Agency (www.ochealthinfo.com) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (www.cdc.gov) for their informational purposes.

Please see the following additional resources and communications which may provide further information and answers to your questions.

Again, the health and safety of our fellow communities are our top priority and we're committed to doing our part to help keep you safe.

We ask that you keep monitoring our website and social media channels for all updates regarding the Fullerton Rangers Youth Soccer Organization and its programming and activities.

Sincerely,

Fullerton Rangers Board of Directors
