We are halfway through our busy first week back and it is great to see the kids letting of steam and having fun.
Things have gone relatively smoothly given that we are all getting used to a new way of working.
So far, we have welcomed 70 kids to camp over the last 3 days, 120 kids back to training, and 20 kids back to performance training and we still have 2 days to go.
We are able to do this because our volunteers and community team are going the extra mile to ensure that the necessary precautions are being taken.
Alan, (Football & Community Development Manager) is now on part time furlough which has enabled him to coordinate our community team and be present at Camps. They have been arriving early to ensure everything is set up and then cleaning everything down ready for the evening events to start.
Each night our coaches are preparing well before training getting equipment cleaned and we have had additional officials on hand when needed to cover first aid duties, toilet cleaning duties, additional support to clean down at the end of the night. We have gone through 8 packets of cloths, 5lt of disinfectant, and a roll of bin liners.
Our teams are almost embracing My Club Hub, and we have registers for every session, as well as additional registers for non-team attendees.
The Kids have shown great respect for the situation and are coping with the changes in their stride.
2 more days to go and we can all have a rest ready for the new week ahead.
Training Fees
As of yet we do not know what further guidance will be issued and when. Going on current guidance we are only allowed to deliver one session per week for 40-50 mins. Due to current restrictions on training we feel it would be unfair to restart full training fees for team training. With that in mind we propose that from 1st August, PDP will return to full payment as sessions for PDP are running as they should. Team fees will be £12 per month. This will be reviewed again for the 1st September. If anyone does not wish to return to training at the moment due to uncertainty or due to self-isolation/shielding, please ensure you have informed your Age rep and we will pause your fees until you return.
Camp is running for the next 2 weeks and there are still spaces available if you would like to book either through your MCH App or on the webiste
As always if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch by emailing enquiries@efcfc.co.uk
