BULLETIN UPDATES:

Preliminary COVID-19 Opening Plans

Our preliminary plan is to open with a reduced capacity of 50%.

We will use the facility for 9v9 and 7v7 soccer games. When we run our 7v7 games we will alternate fields, to allow for separation of players and spectators.

In order to minimize the exposure, we urge and ask all spectators to wear masks when they are in the facility. Throughout the shutdown and quarantining, we have done mold and other byproducts testing, and the results came back negative and we are optimistic they will remain this way. Additionally, we did COVID testing after a night of heavy Field Hockey usage and the results were NEGATIVE meaning no COVID traces in the facility – reports are available for review upon request.

(Please note: We have been playing indoors for about 10 weeks now – we ran a Field Hockey league for about 8 weeks

and all went very well. Not one COVID-19 scare).

Moving forward, the ideal situation for our sports community and preventing the spread of the virus, is to run at 50% capacity, and stagger our field activity throughout the facility. We intend on continuously conducting testing for reassurance to our business and our customers.

COMPLEX UPDATES (10/9/20):

1. As we always do, we periodically test our air quality – we did COVID, Mold and other species testing recently, and the results were great.

These reports are available for review.

2. We are sanitizing everything including the field, bleachers and balls, cones and pinnies are washed regularly.

3. We double filter our air, as you know, the dome is continuously bringing in FRESH air from outside, filtered and the returned air is filtered again. The state of NY required GYMs (dome structures) to use MERV-13 filters as their air is stagnant, we chose to use MERV-13 filters to improve the air quality and the safety of our customers.

4. We are following all safety rules posted by the CDC and the NYS health Dept. including social distancing and face masks which are required for spectators and players on the sidelines. *When players come off the field we are asking they keep their masks on.

a.- All coaches will have a mask on the entire time.

b.- Kids can wear a mask if they would like.

5. We suggest all people coming to the facility use the sanitizer we’ve provided to sanitize their hands – we will have several sanitizer stations.

AIR QUALITY TESTING UPDATE

To our friends, families and customers,

We hope all is well with you and your families, during this time.

As a valued customer we would like to keep you in the loop with what we have been doing while we have been closed due to COVID-19.

Every so often we like to test the air quality inside the dome and we test for any mold or other environmental items. We have asked the environmental department at Keystone engineering to do some testing inside the dome.

The report proved that the quality of air samples inside the dome were so well filtered that they were actually better than the air samples collected from outside of the dome.

The full report is available for review by request.

We are also proud to highlight our air filtering system which circulates and filters the air TWO times; the air is filtered on the supply side and on the return side.

This system keeps the air fresh inside the dome, unlike other structures where the air is stagnant and maintains any germs that are introduced into the air.

Your family and child’s safety has been and will always be our top priority. We do follow New York State and Local Health Guidelines to ensure the health and safety of our customers.

Feel free to reach out with any questions or comments on this matter!

Thank you,

Greater Binghamton Sports Complex Team

"My son did a soccer camp here. Loved it! They are very professional and really get everyone involved. He had never played soccer before but now is hooked!"
- Ansel Amerman

"HUGE soccer dome also equipped with outdoor field when the weather hold up. LOVE this place. They run lessons year round and have a summer program as well. The people here have excellent knowledge and experience and my son has had some of the best training here. ALWAYS a great experience. BGSR teams are based out of here and they will find a team for any aged kid that WANTS to learn and play for a REASONABLE fee, which is saying something amazing considering most domes charge exhorbitant prices to learn and play soccer."

- Abigayle Feldman-Binder

"I play on a pick-up soccer team at the dome, and let me tell you - it is a fantastic place for people of all ages who love to play to keep their foot on the ball. Even as someone that is not a local to Binghamton, I felt very welcome here and they found a team for me immediately. Inside can be quite chilly during the colder months, but if you really love to play you’ll forget all about it like I do. The turf is in great condition, refs that do their best to call a fair game, and trainers on site to assist with injuries... The Kashou’s do a fantastic job at keeping the place looking nice and running smoothly! 10/10, would recommend :)"
