COVID-19 UPDATE
Hello Everyone,
As most of you are wondering about what is gonna happen with Football this fall with the covid 19 virus around. Football Alberta is trying to make some contingency plans, but nothing can be finalised with out direction from Alberta Health and the Provincial government. What we do know now is that all spring and summer camps are cancelled and the summer games have been postponed till next year in Lethbridge. As for the fall, depending on the gathering limit the province puts out there, anything from no football, 6 aside, 9 aside, to 12 man is a possibility which could also include limiting the number of fans that come to watch. Football Alberta is also looking into relaxing the "no football in July" rule which would allow league to start earlier and get as much football in before a second wave of this virus hits.
Again, we are waiting to hear from the provincial government before moving ahead with any type of football. The big hurdle is going to be the social distancing issue, until that is lifted or special exceptions are made Football can not happen.
Please pass this on to all your league members and if you have any questions or want more information please feel free to email me and I will do my best to find you that information. Once I get more information I will pass it on
Thank you and stay safe
