Current Update On Horizons Edge Facility

Virginia Governor Ralph Northam announced new measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19. We are reviewing the Governor’s amended Executive Order, which becomes effective Monday, November 16 at 12:00 am. The safety of our customers and staff is of the utmost importance to us.

Horizons Edge is prepared to begin leagues and tournaments! We are so excited to be able to bring sports back to the Valley. We have been working hard to prepare our campus for a safe and healthy environment. We will require all visitors to wear a face mask while inside The Edge. Children under the age of five are not required to wear a mask. The only time you may not wear a mask is when you are playing, coaching, officiating or eating. We appreciate your understanding and compliance.

We have resumed our normal working (daily 8 am – 10 pm) and business hours (daily 9 am – 6 pm). Reservations for rentals are also available with a 24-hour notice. Our Clip n’ Climb wall is also now open with new hours. Click here to view the hours and make a reservation.

We are all in this together – and together we are stronger! 

Horizons Edge is proud to be a partner to our community as we all come back stronger than ever. We know there are many in our area hurting and experiencing hardships.  We are committed to providing a safe, clean, positive environment to help you and your family come and enjoy the activities you love the most.

What’s your plan if someone attending has tested positive for COVID-19?

We are communicating with event owners, partner organizations, renters, and those who register online, that anyone who has tested positive with COVID-19 is not allowed to enter Horizons Edge until they have been released by their doctor and diagnosed as “recovered.”

Anyone who is presenting symptoms of illness, or answers screening questions upon entry in a way that gives us concern, will not be admitted to Horizons Edge, as a way of protecting every other guest at the venue, and preventing exposures and spread.

Will you be testing players from out of state?

In most states, out of state travel will not occur until a later phase of reopening. At that time, Horizons Edge will work with event organizers to institute standards above and beyond the minimum requirements to promote participant and guest safety.
