Wheatley soccer scraps regular season

WHEATLEY — With Step 1 in the province’s road map to reopening looming in the near future, Wheatley Area Minor Soccer has announced that they will not be offering a regular soccer season in 2021.

“WAMS has decided it will not be offering a regular soccer season, but we are trying our best to put something in place so that we will be able to get the kids on the pitch this summer,” said a Facebook post last Friday.

Step 2 in the province’s road map is expected to kick in around July 6, which would then allow team sports to be played with precautions. All sports organizations are currently playing a waiting game, and Wheatley Area Minor Soccer is among those groups eager to return to play.

“We recognize that your children are eager to get back outside and participate in the sport they love,” said the post.

Anyone who registered last year and would like a refund from the postponement from last season, can email their request to wheatleyareaminorsoccer@gmail.com and include the full name of the player.
