ObjectivesProvide a robust framework to provide a safe environment for return to training and competition of the US national soccer teams following domestic and international travel.MethodsUS Soccer COVID-19 working group created a return to play manual for its national teams, prescribing discrete phases to return to training and competition. This was underpinned by strict health and safety and travel protocols for specific venues and persons. This was complemented by an aggressive testing cadence and isolation policies for delegations (players, internal and external support staff). Between September 2020 and April 2021, there were nine events for males and females at the youth, senior and Paralympic level, with international opponents hosted domestically.ResultsIn total, 6590 point of care (POC) (n=1810) and PCR (n=4780) tests combined were run. Overall positivity rate for players and staff in male events of 0.10% (n=2) and 0.00% (n=0) for females were recorded. Staff positivity rate was 0.14% overall, and external vendors 0.10%. Total POC and PCR positives in male events (n=2) occurred either the day of arrival or the following day.ConclusionThe implementation of strictly adhered to protocols and testing cadences yielded low positivity rates within team delegations. By comparison, initial league-wide COVID-19 testing in mid-2020 in other sports reported league-wide positivity rates of 2.9% (National Football League), 2.7% (Major League Soccer) and 5.3% (National Basketball Association). The English Premier League reported an increase in positivity rate in early 2021 from 1.22% to 1.74%.With the implementation of regimented protocols and stringent testing, it is possible to hold elite-level international sporting competitions involving long-haul travel while ensuring continued safety during a global pandemic.

Critical youth studies and participatory action research reflect critical methodology to question what is participation in policy making and educational reform. We discuss Mestizo Arts and Activism (MAA), a participatory action research collective made up of young people who focused their research on the educational rights of undocumented students, coupled with the emotional and economic impacts of stereotypes of immigrant communities. MAA's participatory process offers a type of radical inclusion that starts with informed understanding of personal experiences by those being legislated upon and then moves toward social analysis, critical inquiry, and reform. We merge critical youth studies with participatory action research to question how policy makers and educators can form policy: that values knowledge created in collaboration and in action; that is informed by a strength-based approach that works with and not for young people; and that engages new audience towards action by questioning the impact of research, policy, or educational reform.
