Portland Co-ed Announcement

To the Portland Co-ed Soccer Community,
        After 47 years of working tirelessly to ensure the local soccer community had a social and recreational league for adult players to enjoy the late Spring and Summer weather, while sharing the fields in friendly competition, Ginger Bradbury is stepping down as President of Portland Co-ed Soccer.  Ginger is stepping into the role of President Emeritus.  

Portland Co-ed Soccer started in 1976 as Eastside Coed, playing games on the fields at Camp Withycombe and the old Multnomah County Fairgrounds in Gresham.  After a number of years, with games being moved to Delta Park as the league expanded, it combined with Westside Coed and became Portland Coed Soccer, gaining fields and players to become the league we have enjoyed over the past number of years.

Ginger has been a local soccer icon for a long time.  She started with soccer when her kids were young, and continued to play, mentor, coach, and run various leagues over the years.  She has served on the OASA Board since the coed league became affiliated, as a League representative, and an advocate for local soccer events, and organizing tournaments.

On a personal note, I have always looked to Ginger for guidance and suggestions on how to address issues and keep things running as smoothly as possible.  I will miss having her presence and support on the field and in the “office” as Portland Co-ed moves forward.

We are assessing the future plans for Portland Coed, and will be announcing any changes at a later date.

Thank you, Ginger, for all you have done for Portland Co-ed Soccer.

Portland Co-ed Soccer COVID Policy

As most are aware, there have been some recent changes to the CDC recommendations and guidelines as of May 18th, 2021. Furthermore, OHA (Oregon Health Authority) has adopted the stance of CDC and the following announcement is in effort to stay in line with both CDC and OHA recommendations:

OHA strongly recommends that individuals who are unvaccinated or who are at risk for severe COVID-19 disease continue to wear a mask, or face covering when in outdoor crowded areas and in outdoor large gatherings of individuals and maintain physical distancing. “Unvaccinated” includes those who have not had the full dosage of the Vaccine; those that have had the full dosage of the vaccine, but are within 2 weeks (14 days) of having received the full dosage; and those who are not getting the vaccine, regardless the reason.

Following OHA guidelines for individuals outdoors, masks are no longer required for any Portland Co-ed Soccer matches. This will include any participant at the permitted facility during the scheduled match time. The scheduled match time is to include the 15 minutes prior to the scheduled kickoff and the two hours and 15 minutes after the scheduled kickoff time.

For those that are still concerned about the current climate, any participant is still welcome to wear a mask; however, for players that choose to wear a mask it must be a soft cloth covering – no face shields are allowed under any circumstances.

Please understand that some participants may still choose to wear a mask, but that it will no longer be a requirement for any Portland Co-ed match.

Lastly, please continue to be mindful of your social distancing when appropriate and please continue to wash your hands. Be safe and good luck in your matches!
