Hi All Junior Summer Football Team Contacts
 
Draws for this Wednesday 16th Feb start date are now complete and attached...
 
I have also attached a map which shows the entrance ways people are to use depending on which field they are playing on, so we can keep within the red settings of max 100 people in each area.
 
Everyone knows the main red setting guidelines by now – stay in your allocated field area, social distancing, limit number of spectators per family where can, and use the entrance way’s provided for your field area please.
 
Vaccine passes required - As per red settings, football is mandated so we can go ahead with the games during the red setting under the rules of max 100 people in one area, which means vaccine passports are required for all players, coaches and spectators over 12 years and 3 months old. 
Just like the end of term 4, there will either be cover on the gates or spot checking around the fields for passes, so please make sure all your players/parents are aware.
 
I will put a post on our Facebook pg every Tuesday evening with the weeks draw for each age group and re iterating the map and guidelines for parents, but please get this message out to all the parents in your teams.
 
I hope you all enjoy the games! 
 
Kind Regards
Andrea
