Weekly testing (SARS-CoV-2) is required for all athletes ages 13 to 19 for participation in organized sports, including youth club soccer. This mandate is currently through July 1st. Saline FC has arranged with Lynxdx to do weekly testing at Ele's Place on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from 3:30 pm to 8:30 pm.
Your player MUST test every week beginning the week of April 5th in order to participate in practices and games! Please follow the instructions below for your athlete(s). You do not have to accompany your player through the testing process if you feel comfortable allowing them to do so on their own.
If your player is fully vaccinated (two weeks after the second dose) and asymptomatic, they do NOT need to get tested. Proof of vaccination needs to be provided. If your player tested positive for Covid in the past, we need a letter from your physician stating when your player had Covid to be excused from testing for 90 days.

We have had many questions about Saline Middle and High School players. At the schools your players will get a nose swab while LynxDx uses the spit test. LynxDx emails the results to you between 24 and 48 hours after the test. If you choose to use LynxDx instead of the school testing, you can send your weekly test result to your school and they will accept this testing method for their school sport. If your player will continue to get tested in school, they do NOT have to get tested again through Saline FC however we will need the result of the school test results emailed to our Covid coordinator Sue Ehman at [email protected] as soon as possible.
Here are the email addresses to send those results to:
Thank you all for your patience as we worked together with Lynxdx to provide a convenient solution to the current mandate. We look forward to seeing you all on the pitch!
