Starfire Re-Opening Update (1/12/2021)

By

Starfire Sports is now open for limited reservations and youth program registrations. Currently, only our outdoor fields are available for rental due to the current government restrictions and guidelines. For general inquiries, please email [email protected]. Field reservation inquiries can be directed to  [email protected], while information regarding our current indoor and outdoor youth soccer programs can be found here.

We will continue to update this page and our website with further updates as the Puget Sound region is permitted to open further and advance to other phases of the state’s Healthy Washington plan.

COVID-19 Announcement (3/13/2020)

By

Considering last night’s announcement from the Seattle Mayor’s Office closing all city libraries and community centers, including recreation facilities, it is with great dismay that Starfire announces we will be suspending all operations effective immediately. While we have fully implemented the state and local mandatory health guidance for events less than 250 people, we feel it is important to support unified action and follow the lead of Seattle in closing their recreation facilities. With this, we will be suspending all current Starfire programming and rentals until further notice.

However, we understand that there is a significant community need for child support that will allow working parents to continue supporting their families during school closures.  To help fill this need, Starfire will be offering daytime camps for children of school age beginning on March 16th.  The camp program will be fully compliant with the state and county health official guidelines.

We have not made these decisions without understanding the important role that Starfire has in the lives of many in our community, and are determined to help however we can. We are currently planning production of some online resources to keep minds and bodies active while at home. And, as restrictions and guidance changes, we will seek to add and/or resume existing programming where needed and appropriate.

Upon customer request, Starfire will issue a credit for the remaining winter session fixtures. We know this is an exceptionally difficult time for everyone in our community, but if financially feasible, Starfire would greatly appreciate your continued support during this shutdown:

  • Request that your credit be converted into a tax-deductible donation, or simply choose not to request your credit;
  • Register online for an upcoming session to save a spot in one of our programs once we are able to resume operation; and/or
  • Make a tax-deductible donation—Starfire is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation!

Any support you are able to give will be invaluable in helping Starfire weather the storm, and allow us to continue providing world-class sports and social programming to our community for years to come.

We will continue to update our websiteand Facebook pagewith the latest information regarding our response to this pandemic.

Starfire to offer school closure support care

By

In an effort to support our community during the challenges presented by school closures, Starfire will be offering extended day-time care for working parents and healthcare workers. Care will be available beginning Monday, March 16th. Advanced online signup is required, and financial assistance is available for those in need. Get additional details here. During this time, we will be following the guidelines outlined in the Seattle and King County Local Health Officer Order Addressing COVID-19 in King County [link] for events under 250 attendees [read more in our announcement from March 11th].
 
In addition to this on-site care, Starfire is pursuing ways to provide online resources designed to keep minds and bodies active at home. If you have any specific requests for the kind of content you would like to see, or recommendations for other ways we can support the community, please send us an email to [email protected].
 

COVID-19 Announcement (3/12/2020)

By

The health and safety of our community is our top concern, and we are doing our part to help contain the spread of this virus by complying with the various orders from the Governor’s Office and King County [read more in our initial statement]. This is a rapidly evolving situation, and there are a lot of unknowns. We are making daily assessments based on Public Health’s guidance, and we will do our best to communicate any changes in our operations as quickly as possible.  

At this time our campus remains open, and we hope our community members will utilize Starfire for some relief and peace of mind during this stressful time. We are actively looking into additional ways to support our community as we navigate through this period together.

Measures we are taking to help contain the spread of this virus: 

  • Postponing all events and gatherings of 250 people or larger until further notice 
  • Increasing the level and frequency of facility cleanings throughout our facility

COVID-19 Announcement (3/11/2020)

By

Valued Starfire Members and Guests,

We feel it is important to share the actions we are taking in response to the Governor’s Executive Proclamation on COVID-19 Community Mitigation Strategies [text][video] and the Seattle and King County Local Health Officer Order Addressing COVID-19 in King County [link].

Nothing is more important than the health and safety of our members, guests and employees. We are not experts on infectious diseases, but we are lucky to have state and county leaders that are guided by world class experts in this field. We will fully follow their direction which today was codified in the Governors Proclamation and the Seattle and King County Order and continue to monitor their direction and adapt our policies as changes to this direction occur.

Today’s state and county orders specifically prohibit events of 250 people or more. For events with fewer than 250 attendees (the vast majority of activity at Starfire) we will take several steps to minimize risk as directed by today’s proclamations:

  1. We strongly encourage older adults and individuals with underlying medical conditions (including our employees) that are at increased risk of serious COVID-19 to not come to the Starfire campus.
  2. Our guest services personnel will monitor and encourage all spectators and non-participants to conform to social distancing recommendations (i.e. limit contact of people within 6 feet from each other for 10 minutes or longer).
  3. We will screen our employees for COVID-19 symptoms each day and send anyone home that exhibits symptoms.
  4. While we always strive to maintain the highest standards when it comes to the cleanliness and hygiene of our campus facilities, we’re taking it even further in response to the State and King County proclamations. Our bathrooms will always be fully stocked with soap and disinfected daily. We will disinfect high-touch surfaces at the Athletic Center fields between matches and other surfaces throughout the building at least once daily. We will also provide additional hand-washing stations between our indoor fields and as you enter the building.
  5. Our employees will not engage in handshakes and high fives and will encourage all participants and spectators to avoid this practice.

You can also help do your part in minimizing risk by limiting additional guests and spectators, not attending if you are exhibiting any signs of illness (cough or even minor elevated temperature), and making sure to practice appropriate hand hygiene.

If you fall within the at-risk population, or generally feel uncomfortable continuing your participation in a Starfire program at this time, we will issue you a credit for your remaining session fixtures. Please email [email protected].

We are grateful and thankful for your continued support. Please routinely check our website and Facebook page for the latest information.
