Re: Return to Play Update – Current Restrictions Extended by BC Health Authority

Dear Full/Associate Members and Affiliated Clubs,

As you may have heard yesterday, the BC Health Authority and specifically Dr. Henry, indicated that the current provincial restrictions are to remain in effect. In their statement, they said that they are closely monitoring the situation and are looking ahead as to when it will be it safe to increase interactions in a limited way, which could include opportunities for sport/soccer.

ViaSport Update

February 5, 2021

Today the Province of B.C. announced that the current public health restrictions are being kept in place. While there haven't been updates to the restrictions for sport, this means that the following key items remain in place:

Individuals are permitted to travel to their home club for the purpose of sport, while following all restrictions in the current public health Order.
The clarifications from January 7 on "group sport" remain applicable to adult sport.
The high performance exemption remains in effect for athletes identified by CSI-Pacific and their Provincial or National Sport organization.
The specifications around children and youth sport remain unchanged. Games and tournaments are temporarily suspended for teams.
The Intercollegiate varsity sport exemption allows for athletes to train or practice only with the post-secondary institution with which they are enrolled.

For more details on the information above, head to our website or FAQ page.

We know how difficult this news can be, but we are encouraged by the efforts and commitment displayed by the sport community to stay safe and protect each other.

The Order applies to all regions of the Province.
Indoor and outdoor soccer for adults (22 years and older) is suspended.
Indoor and outdoor soccer for youth (under 22 years of age) can occur under BC Soccer’s Phase 1 Guidelines (the previous phase where players participated in-club/team “distance training” with no game-play) with the following restrictions in place:

Physical distance (3 metres).
No spectators.
Players may travel to their home club/team for the purpose of participating in soccer. Per BC Soccer rules, players can only be registered to one team in one club.
