September 19, 2021 - Update to Fall 2021 Season
Hello Swarm families,
Many questions have come in since the most recent COVID update on September 17, 2021. We just want to take a moment to provide some information as we move into the new AHS temporary emergency restrictions set to take place September 20th.
The Saville Community Centre and the Legacy Athletic Club have chosen to participate in the restriction exemption program effective September 20, 2021. This means that when visiting these facilities, you are required to do the following:
September 20 - October 4
- Show proof of vaccination - proof of a single dose is considered acceptable
- OR Show proof of a recent negative COVID-19 test within the last 72 hours.
- OR Show proof of medical exemption
- AND Show government-issued identification.
NOTE: Individuals who have not received a single vaccination by October 4 will not be permitted on the premises.
October 5 - October 24
- Show proof of vaccination - proof of a single dose is considered acceptable
- OR Show proof of medical exemption
- AND Show government-issued identification
October 25
- Show proof of full vaccination - double dose is required
- AND show government-issued identification
Those participants who are under 12 years old are not required to show any proof of vaccination and can participate as normal.
We just want it to be clear these are intended to be temporary measures. We understand these new temporary restrictions may pose a problem for many families. We do understand and empathize with how much stress and confusion all these changes and uncertainties are causing for many of you. Your safety and well being is our number one concern, and we are working as hard as possible to provide clarity and find solutions that allow us to get kids back out there enjoying sport and healthy living.
In the meantime we provide you with the following tentative timelines:
- Regular season games for our U18 is expected to commence October 1, 2021 and runs until mid November with a total of 9-11 games.
- Regular season games for our U11, U13 and U15 is expected to commence the week of October 15, 2021.
- The U7 & U9 program will likely not commence until sometime in November as we continue to wait to access City of Edmonton school gyms.
- Any teams competing in A/B Division is expected to commence October 12, 2021.
- Once the season begins all practice sessions will take place in City of Edmonton schools. We hope to have access to schools by early November and will communicate more information as we get it.
- NOT ALL GAMES are at the Saville Centre.
- Saville Centre and Legacy Athletics have a no Spectator policy currently in place.
