Spring 2020 Intramural Registration News

Hello,

Due to the uncertainty of when and if we will be able to have a spring 2020 intramural season, registration has been placed on hold. The Wakefield Soccer Association is working with Essex County Youth Soccer Association as well as Massachusetts Youth Soccer to comply with their decisions as to when regular soccer activities may resume. In addition, the WSA finance committee and its Board of Directors are crafting a refund policy for both intramural and travel soccer for the spring. Your patience is appreciated in these unprecedented times.

When and if the season is allowed to resume I have posted a sign up genius link below for parents of intramural aged players (tots 3-4, Pre-K and K – grade 2) who have not already registered for the spring. By filling out this list you are not financially committed to enroll your child if the spring season does commence. This list will be used to determine teams and other logistical decisions that will have to be made quickly once the season is allowed to start.

All soccer activities suspended until at least April 26

WSA has been closely monitoring the developing situation involving Covid-19 and the precautions being taken to reduce the speed and reach of its spread.  We’ll be taking guidance from entities including the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the Town of Wakefield, Massachusetts Youth Soccer.

Effective March 13, 2020, Massachusetts Youth Soccer has suspended all sanctioned soccer activity until at least April 26.  This includes, but is not limited to: all games, practices, clinics, training, tournaments, in-person meetings and Coaching Education Courses.  For more detail on the policy, visit https://www.mayouthsoccer.org/coronavirus/

WSA is, of course, following this mandate to the letter.  All Winter Training sessions are canceled.  We’re asking Spring coaches to respect these mandates and not try to gather their teams until after the suspension of activity is lifted.  Additionally, all scheduled meetings, including our AGM and any preseason coaches meetings (including Essex-led meetings) and/or clinics will be postponed indefinitely.  We’ll await further guidance from the Town of Wakefield and Mass Youth Soccer prior to rescheduling.

Thank you for your patience as we continue to monitor the situation.
