Return to Football

Football Alberta is opening limited team activities for our members effective immediately.  The Government of Alberta is allowing children and youth to participate in lessons, practices and conditioning activities for indoor and outdoor team-based minor sports and athletics.  All games continue to be prohibited.

Children and youth will be allowed to participate in limited school and team sport activities.

• Lessons, practices and conditioning activities are allowed for indoor and outdoor, team-based, minor sports/activities and school athletics.
• Games are not allowed.
• All participants must be 18 years old or younger, except coaches or trainers.
• Maximum of 10 total individuals, including all coaches, trainers, and participants.
• Physical distancing must be maintained between participants at all times:
• 3-metres physical distance for indoor activities
• 2-metres physical distance for outdoor activities
• coaches or trainers may enter physical distancing space for brief interactions with participants (for example, to correct form or technique)
• Participants must be masked at all times, except during the training activity. Coaches/trainers/etc. must remain masked at all times.
• Access to change rooms must be limited, including accelerated arrival and departure, emergencies (for example, first aid) and washroom use.

Step 2 may allow for larger numbers to participate.  A decision on Step 2 will be made if, after three weeks, there are 450 or fewer hospitalizations and the number is declining. The same re-evaluation period will be used for all subsequent steps.
