We are working on a rotating practice schedule for all teams which will include taking turns between Mercer Turf and Mercer Upper Grass Field in order for our Club to adhere to the BCPFA Return to Sport – 50 person requirement.
All players (absolutely no exceptions) will be required to check-in with the Safety Officer on duty the evening of their practice before they can participate – this is required for each and every practice. Social distancing protocols must be adhered to while checking in and participating in practices.. While we always encourage parent spectators we are asking that you vacate the facility during practice times in order to allow us to maintain the 50 person maximum requirement. If you do choose to stay please watch from the upper stands and not from the track or standing at the surrounding fenced area. If you are on the turf you will be asked to leave the area. Please make sure to pick your player up on time – practice ends at 8pm for most divisions please arrive on time.
Additionally, ALL PLAYERS NO EXCEPTIONS are required to provide the following completed documentation at the start of their first practice for the season:
Form can be found at: https://rchfc.hyackfootball.com/page/show/838762-forms
- Player Medical Information Form
- Parent/Guardian Contract
- Participation Agreement Form re: COVID-19
- Copy of Birth Certificate
- Concussion Form
- Photo/Media Release Form
This requirement will be upheld, no exceptions – we will have forms available at check-in on the first day of practice but it is recommended that you bring the completed forms along with a copy of your players birth certificate.
To confirm the only players practicing this week are our Junior Bantam and PeeWee teams. Players must bring a personal water bottle with enough water for the duration of practice. Cleats are to be worn. A further email will follow within the next day or two with further information regarding the rotating practice scheduled
We look forward to welcoming you all back for another season of Hyack Football.
Go Hyacks!!
Your Royal City Hyacks Football Club Board of Directors
