Following the announcement that grassroots sport can return this week we are pleased to announce that Southdown's Saturday morning training sessions will return on Saturday 3 April.

There are some new COVID safety requirements in place from the FA including a maximum of one parent to accompany each child for training and matches. Team managers will be in touch with parents of children in their age groups with further details. Parents will be required to read the club's latest COVID guidance and confirm they are happy for their child to participate before training returns.

For parents paying the training fees online, we will start taking the £12 monthly payments again from the beginning of April. We are still looking to minimise cash handling so anyone who can is encouraged to sign up to pay training fees online via the website here

Our Saturday training schedule will return to the normal arrangements which are:

Under 6's: 9am at Leylands with coaches Angela and Owen
Under 7's: 10am at Leylands with coach George
Under 8's: 10am at Leylands with coaches Owen and John
Under 9's: 10am at Leylands with coaches Lee, Cliff and Lance
Under 10's: 10am at Leylands with coaches Andrew and Patrick
Under 11's: 10am at The Brooks with coaches Ian and Jon.

We looking forward to seeing you all back in action on April 3. See you then!
