Hello Soccer Enthusiasts,

It is with great disappointment that we officially announce the cancellation of the 2020 soccer season.

Your Board of Directors has worked hard to build a Return to Play Plan, however, the province is still in Phase One Return to Play and given the direction that COVID-19 has recently taken we believe that it is in the best interest of your safety, and our responsibility to our community, that we have decided to cancel.

Via Sport and BC soccer have yet to confidently move into Phase Two, therefore we are unable to transition into competitive play.

We have developed and will continue to develop planning for 2021 with you and your family’s safety as our priority.

We wish you and your families a safe and wonderful summer!

On behalf of your PGSA Board of Directors,
Virginia Ashley
PGSA President

Good afternoon,

At this time sport organizations are not authorized to organize sport programming or activities until there is a sport sector plan approved by public health officials, national and provincial bodies as well as the municipality.

We have been closely following the Provincial Health Official, municipality’s, province’s and BC Soccer’s directives while designing an adaptive plan for return to play if a season does resume.

The PGSA Board of Directors continue to work on the following areas of modification to play and mitigation of risks while incorporating safety measures to keep participants safe. The below measures will be shared upon approval.

These include but are not limited to:
1.Assumption of Risk and Liability
2. Facility Access
3. Modified Play – includes modification of the game, rules and field of play
4. Permissive Play
5. Communication
6. Insurance Coverage – BC Soccer has recently confirmed that the insurance underwriter has provided a disease and contagion exclusion notice to include COVID-19
7. Waiver

Although we are working hard to consider all potential avenues for an engaging but safe environment, it is unknown if play will be authorized to resume this season. As BC Soccer states, we must be comfortable that all appropriate and reasonable steps are being taken to mitigate risks associated with approving and/or implementing any form of soccer activity under a Return to Play Plan.

We will try to keep everyone informed as developments occur.

Please feel free to share your thoughts by responding to this email.

Stay safe and healthy!

PGSA
Board of Directors

On behalf of the Board of Directors, we hope each of you are staying healthy and are remaining vigilant during this challenging time.

In the best interest for everyone’s safety, as per direction from BC Soccer as well as the City of Prince George (see below links), the PGSA will be suspending the 2020 soccer season until further notice.

We will continue to monitor the situation and provide you with updates.

At this time, team and player registration will remain open. Registration dates and instructions will be provided soon. We encourage you to register which will allow us to populate our new registration system and continue to plan. Payment of registration fees are not required at this time.

Thank you for your patience and support.

 

Stay healthy!

Virginia Ashley

President PGSA
