Covid-19 Guidance for School Holiday Courses & Saturday Soccer Schools

We are excited to announce the resumption of Saturday Soccer Schools, School Holiday Courses and After School Clubs as of 29th March! We can’t wait to see the players and get started.

As ever, player safety is always at the forefront of everything that we do and so we have put in place strict guidelines to ensure the safety of our Players, Coaches and Parents, adhering to the Government Covid-19 Guidelines. Please read our information below and ensure that both you and your child are aware of our guidelines for a safe return to training.
