COVID-19 Protocol & Safe Return

We are committed to providing the highest levels of safety for our community.  

To ensure player and staff safety, we have implemented mandatory 'Safe Return to Play Protocol & Guidelines' for all Club Activities.  In order to play with the Victoria Sport & Social Club and stay in good standing, the following guidelines MUST be followed.  A zero-tolerance policy is in place for those who challenge these decisions.   

To ensure a successful season, please remember to practice safe physical distancing and a positive attitude!

All players are required to read, understand, and adhere to all COVID-19 Guidelines.

# of Weeks

Weekday Leagues are 16 weeks.

Sunday League is 15 weeks.

For sports where the COVID-19 sport cohort rules limit just 4 teams per league, we will be posting the 16-weeks of games as two x 8-week schedules.  This will allow leagues to be re-aligned for skill (where possible) after the first half of the season
