The Warrior Football program recently received the attached update from Football Saskatchewan in reaction to the COVID-19 virus.
“Football Canada continues to monitor the public health situation regarding COVID-19. The Football Canada Board of Directors have voted unanimously to recommend suspension of face-to-face meetings or gatherings, training, practice and play for all members indefinitely due to the issues surrounding the Coronavirus pandemic. This reiterates the bulletin and policy position distributed on March 12 to all members and the public.
Based on Football Canada’s Code of Conduct and responsibility to create a safe environment for all participants, Football Canada is suspending activity until further notice. This applies to all members.
With that being said, Football Saskatchewan will continue to pause all scheduled events until further notice and now recommend suspension of face-to-face meetings or gatherings, training, practice for all members until further notice due to the issues surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. Upon any changes we will immediately communicate to all our members and participants that information as it becomes available.”
We are adhering to Football Saskatchewan’s protocol and have suspended all meetings, training, fundraising, and planning until further notice.
There are many programs this will affect in the province, most notably for our program, this means the current Grade Twelves will not have Senior Bowl tryouts, or a game. There will be no spring combine/training camp for next years Junior and Senior teams. Also the Minor Football Coaches in the area decided to cancel the Spring Minor Football League. This means no U12, or Pee Wee Program for The Warrior Program this spring.
I fully understand that this is disappointing for the student athletes in the program, as well as the coaches, parents and fans. The Warrior Football Program management’s position is that the health and well being of the players surpasses any other activities or goals we have set forth.
If you are a member of the newly formed Warrior Football Committee, we are suspending meetings until further notice. If you are a member of the Football and Track Fundraising Committee, we have suspended our efforts until further notice.
If you are the administration of your school, please forward this information to teachers, and email to students and parents. I will also post it on Facebook and TeamSnap.
If anything should change, I will update everyone as soon as time permits. Thank you in advance for your help, understanding and support.
As usual, if anyone has any questions or concerns, call me anytime.
