The COVID-19 pandemic brings a unique set of challenges to everyday life. In regards to football we need to be extremely vigilant to ensure a safe and low risk environment for players, parents, volunteers and anyone who we have contact with. This page will be updated based on new information and guidance as appropriate, if anyone has any questions or concerns please use the contact form, email the Committee or contact your team manager.
Page Updated October 2021
As a club we continue to follow the latest guidance available from the Football Association, Cambs FA and the UK Government.
All players, parents or volunteers are expected to read the guidance in full in order to understand the behaviours and changes that are required to resume football safely. Non-compliance may result in football being suspended, but worse could lead to the spread of COVID-19 through the community.
