SOCCER AT HOME FOR OUR Competitve Players U13 & up

Undoubtedly, parents miss watching their child(ren) playing soccer and players are missing their teammates.  Through the use of social media and video sharing, we are keeping players and parents connected with each other, their coaches and our Club.  

In an effort to keep everyone training / working out at home, we’re utilizing online sessions:  whitbyfceducation.thinkific.com 

  • free educational material with added content on a weekly basis in the areas of "Tactical Education", "Holistic Education" and "Sport Psychology"
  • the Home Exercise Program (HEP) as the main online training program at the player's disposal which covers physical, technical and tactical activities with an incorporated guiding training schedule (accessible under the "Holistic Education")

Please, remember to share with us, what you are doing at home and check-out the player and team videos posted on our Keep the Ball Moving page

Ontario Soccer has asked us to highlight that while they promote the move to ONLINE, there is no insurance coverage for any players who may injure themselves during such sessions and should an injury occur as a result of these sessions, the player(s) would only be covered their own personal insurance and OHIP, and not Ontario Soccer insurance.

SOME RECENT ANNOUNCEMENTS

ONTARIO SOCCER

For those who may be concerned about registering for the abridged outdoor season, Ontario Soccer is encouraging participants to do so now, so that Districts, Clubs and Academies can be fully prepared to kick off the Return to Play season when announced. Multiple scenarios are being considered which includes a modified Outdoor Season in 2020. Please also note that due to some municipal government restrictions, playing fields have been closed down beyond May.

Ontario Soccer is presently operating on a month-to-month basis as they review the ongoing health crisis until definitive information and directives inform otherwise.  Full updates from Ontario Soccer

Although we are awaiting updates as to when fields will be open and when leagues will commence, our Club is preparing for the start of the Outdoor season. We do know that leagues will be very flexible concerning scheduling and to extending the outdoor season as necessary.

The Club is in constant communication with the Town and all of our suppliers to ensure that all the necessary fields, uniforms, equipment and other services will be available when needed.

Given the spring (May) portion of the Outdoor season has been postponed, we are very optimistic and tentatively, competitive leagues plan to have the season start early July and provide a full season schedule if possible.
