Fantastic news. All Saints are back on the field Commencing Monday 25 May. Detailed advice on training requirements, regulations and timing for individual teams will be distributed and coordinated via your Coaches and Managers by email, who will receive their information today via the Age Managers. The club Committee has spent a significant amount of time coordinating our restart amidst extremely challenging conditions. It will be an enormous task coordinating 70 teams back to training in a very short space of time. It is likely the regulations for training will change again quickly (think schools!) and everyone needs to prepare themselves for a staged implementation. For example we are restricted to 10 players / coaches next week (not ideal in an 11 a side situation) but this will likely change to 20 players /coaches quite quickly. Please everyone note these important instructions:
1.This is a start to non-contact training only. FNSW guidelines are attached and must be followed. The club strongly recommends everyone provides their own hand sanitiser for all activities. Please ensure social distancing is maintained at all times and do not congregate in groups.
2. To manage the logistics, fields and time slots have been allocated by the club in three blocks of u6-u11, u12-u18 and Seniors. Training Coordinators have been appointed to manage each group. U6-U11 will have access to ASR skills training on Wed and Fri afternoons ONLY to start with. U12-O45. Coaches and Managers will be able to book training slots via the Training Coordinators for their group.
3. NSW Football are planning for season commencement July 4/5 with a 14 game season, so these restricted training guidelines will hopefully be short lived.
4. Please be respectful of the fact that we have never managed a pandemic before! We are implementing the guidelines as best we can, as unpaid volunteers. Remember, it was only a short time ago that many expected the season to be abandoned in it’s entirety. Australia has managed the pandemic amazingly well. Let’s stay positive, stay safe, stay disciplined and keep going for a few short weeks.

Hope everyone is excited and looking forward to the 2020 football season at last. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
