2020 Outdoor Soccer Program - Information Letter

Greetings Everyone,

We would like to welcome all of our new and returning players and families to our 2020 Outdoor Soccer programs.  We are excited to return to the field and are looking forward to a great season for all our players.  I have included the schedule below for you to review your training/game times.  Please note that there have been a few minor adjustments to the schedule in order to allow for time between sessions.  Programs are set to kick off as scheduled on Sunday July 5, practice schedules will be updated on our website at www.jjsoccer.ca.

WAIVERS:

SSA has updated waivers required for participation in the Outdoor 2020 Season.  Please review the updated SSA waivers prior to participation, regarding Covid-19 compliance and risk.  Sample copies of the waivers are available on our website here.  Participants previously registered are required to update their registration.  Registrations received after waivers were updated on June 15 already included the new updated waivers. 

* Waivers will be emailed to participants who were previously registered for Outdoor 2020, from the Ramp system, for sign-off prior to participating in programs. 

SAFETY GUIDELINES:

Working closely with Saskatchewan Soccer and Canada Soccer, JJ Soccer’s Return to Soccer Plan includes enhanced health and safety protocols to ensure the safety of our players, parents, and staff.  Our local Return to Soccer Plan complies with the SSA Return to Soccer Plan, as well as provincial government recommendations.  Please note that due to Covid-19 concerns, SSA safety regulations state that players may only train and play with one organization, until further notice.

Players will need soccer cleats or good running footwear for a grass surface, shin guards, soccer socks, shorts, shirt with sleeves, and water.  Bug spray and sunscreen are also recommended.  Players should come to the field dressed and ready to participate.  Please limit personal items brought to the field, and personal items should not be shared or mixed with other players.  Saskatchewan Soccer Association is recommending that players bring just a Ziploc bag clearly marked with their name which contains individual personal items that may be needed such as tissue, mask if desired, hand sanitizer, personal first aid items such as band aid, and medication if needed (inhaler, etc.)  Please refer to the Return to Soccer Safety Guidelines for additional information. 

TRAINING CANCELLATIONS:

Should it be necessary to cancel any training sessions, this information will be communicated via email and posted on our Ramp website.  Several factors are taken into consideration when cancelling a session, such as what the field conditions are like, what is the future forecast, and the current temperature.  Depending on the situation we may cancel a session for the younger groups but still train with an older group, so please note the group your child is in.  For weekday training, cancellations will be issued by 5:00 pm.  For Sunday sessions, cancellations will be issued by 12:00 pm. 

FEES:

Please use contactless form of payment when paying outstanding fees, if possible.  To check unpaid balances or pay fees by credit card please log in to your RAMP Registration Account.  E-transfers can be sent to jjsoccerltd@gmail.com.  Cheques can be mailed to JJ Soccer Ltd, 51 Buttercup Cres, Moose Jaw, SK, S6J 1A3

We will be relying on e-mail for communication to our members for the majority of information releases moving forward.  Please also check our website at www.jjsoccer.ca or facebook page JJ Soccer Limited for information and updates.
