This is just a quick update on the current situation and when football might return to the club.
Firstly, we wish everyone is safe and well and on the road to getting their lives back to normal.
The club committee were absolutely devastated at the premature end to the season and it seems such a shame for the first season in the clubs history to end that way after what has been such a fantastic start on and off the pitch. However, the committee have been in regular virtual contact throughout the lockdown period and the club are already planning ahead to ensure the continual growth of the club.
Sadly, the club has had to cancel the end of season presentation and also the annual tournament/fundraiser, so the club will be looking to other ways to fundraise this year. If you have any ideas for this, we would love to hear from you.. We will also be seeking some assistance with sponsorship of some kit and if you know any local businesses that might be interested please let us know.
With regards to football returning, you may have already picked up that the government have relaxed measures and have now said that groups of 5 children can train together with 1 coach as long as safety precautions are put in place and social distancing measures are followed at all times.
You will have noticed some clubs have already returned to action this week, however it is the view of the committee that things need to be developed and planned to ensure we can meet all of the requirements to bring back football in a safe environment. We would ask you all to just hang in there a little bit longer and allow us that time to make sure we can fully assess the risks as well as make sure we have a robust plan in place that puts the welfare of all our players and coaches at the centre of any decision to return to football.
Hopefully you will all understand our approach to getting football back soon and we will see your children soon for some fun packed sessions, albeit they will be very different sessions to what they will be used to.
If you have any questions or concerns about this, please contact us through our website, Facebook pages or via your child’s coach.
Many thanks
The Committee
