Return to play
So finally we are getting back on the pitch!
As a club we are so excited for the Return to Play from the 12th April. We have been working hard behind the scenes to make sure that we have created a safe environment for all our players, coaches and their families. To ensure that everyone is safe; we are operating with a gradual return to training for all players in our Youth Academy, this will be based around the availability of facilities and the current ‘Pathway out of Restrictions’ guidance.
Head Coaches will be in contact with parents with details of all training times and venues. Please take time to read the Guidance for Parents carefully to ensure that you have been reminded of the changes that have been made due to Covid-19. Please bear with us as we endeavour to make sure we can provide the best experience possible for all our players.
To ensure that the club is operating at the safest level possible, we have appointed Rodney Weir as our Covid-19 Officer. If you have any queries about Returning to Play please don’t hesitate to contact Rodney.
Please make yourself aware of our Return to Play Plan which is available to download here.
