Like most clubs around New England, Black Rock FC is adjusting to its new normal as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to chart its course.

But they’re also in a unique position with prep schools, the lifeblood of their club, closing and moving to remote learning. Student-athletes at their Northwood and High Mowing residential academies have gone home, while their prep academy players, both domestic and international, aren’t on campus.

As difficult as the situation is, CEO Jon Moodey is trying to make the most of things.
