I think they meant July 1st with phase 3 starting

July 1 is the start of phase 3, which is sports back to normal with a few extra details.

Here's McLean guidance for phase 3. There are a lot of extra details, including no contact allowed:

Any training session is optional for players
Prior to attending any training session, each player should check his or her temperature at home and refrain from participation if he/she has a fever of >100.4 degrees.
Prior to participation, staff will obtain verbal communication from the player/parent that:
The player has not had any/no contact with a sick individual or anyone with a confirmed case of COVID-19.
The player has not had a documented case of COVID-19 in the last 14 days.
The player is not currently demonstrating or suffering from any ill symptoms.
The player will confirm any travel outside of the Metro DC area.
Players will remain within the same group throughout Phase III.
Training will include individual and group work, tactical walk-through and NO physical contact.
Goalkeepers should not use their hands and should train as field players.
Each group will be assigned to train in a designated area and at a minimum of 10 ft. from other groups
Physical/Social distancing to and from the field – masks required to and from the parking lot - 10 ft. apart
No physical contact permitted, including celebrations, handshakes, high-fives, etc.
No handling or sharing of equipment.
EVERY coach and player should have their own sanitizer to use prior to, during and after the session.
Players must bring their own ball, water bottle, towel (ALL labeled) and appropriately spaced (6 ft. apart) on the sidelines.
No spitting or gum chewing.
No heading of the ball nor handling of the ball.
NO SPECTATORS ON THE FIELD - MASKS ARE STRONGLY RECOMMENDED OF SPECTATORS IF OUTSIDE YOUR VEHICLE.
NO use of port-a-johns.
Arrival/departure times will be staggered at 30-minute intervals.

Yes. Small sided games are full contact. Not sure it makes a big difference whether its 7 vs 7 or 11 vs 11. Rondos are also full contact depending on the kids. So Mclean is taking a measured approach for the first 10 days of phase three but then begin to introduce contact activities which I presume by August a full return to 11 vs. 11 and team play

The whole club is doing this? Or just older age groups?

Probably just U13 and up.

Mclean comes out with great emails regarding their process, but I haven't seen them universally enforce what they put out. What training are they giving the coaches? I have seen practices where they are handling the ball in small drills with a partner (throw and tap back drills then switch), and are not 6 feet apart. Why is every single coach not setting up cones or other boundary lines to keep the boys in rows and away from each other? Some do, some don't. McLean administration needs to monitor the fields more closely and enforce adoption.

It's for the whole club.
