We are all working hard everyday to adapt to this unique circumstance and can assure you that regardless of the conditions set forth by the Provincial Health Body and/or Federal Government we will do our best to satisfy the program needs. In the event there is another lockdown we have previously been able to develop a web-based training portal for the individual players in the program and would continue to evolve this opportunity. In the event we are fortunate enough to advance to Phase Two we will all look forward to being able to participate in more competitive and demanding training sessions with games. Again, be patient as we work through this unique set of circumstances. COVID-19 Here are the measures we have put in place to keep our staff and players safe while attending training during this difficult time. • Pre-screening – Please complete the BC COVID-19 self- assessment tool before coming to either facility. A link will be available on our website for your use. If you are experiencing symptoms, or are not feeling well, we ask that you stay home. • Give yourself Time – We ask that you arrive at the training facility no more than 15 minutes before your start time. • Face masks + Gloves – We welcome all staff and patrons to wear masks and/or gloves, however, this is not mandatory. • Limited facilities – Please come dressed and ready to play, as washroom facilities will be limited at this time. • Cleaning – Through sanitization and cleaning of all high touched surfaces, high traffic areas, and washrooms will be completed on a regular basis throughout each day. COVID-19 • Clean hands – We will provide plenty of hand sanitizer for your use, and encourage hand washing by all our staff throughout the facility. • In the event any player or staff member from a team is tested positive for the COVID Virus, the team in question will immediately cease training and be quarantined for 14-days. If and only when each player and staff member is tested for the Corona Virus with a negative result will training even be considered. • The responsibility for testing under such a circumstance will fall to the individual family with the results communicated accordingly back to the team manager/coaching staff. • Once it has been deemed safe from negative test results the next course of action can and will be determined in consultation with medical expertise first, soccer related administration second and the Van Island Wave Leadership/Management Team third. • We will be constantly monitoring the situation and updating our processes as necessary. ORGANIZATION & COMMUNICATION The key part of any successful organization is communication. For the program to be successful open lines of communication will be established between all participating members, from the coaches, to the players, parents, managers, PFC leadership staff and team managers. We will work hard to ensure the lines of communication remain open and clear at all times. In addition to the individual team managers and coaches, there will be two administrative contacts available for the Van Island Wave Program. Joe Wood & Giuliano Caserio will both be based out of the ITC and available for any questions related to the Van Island Wave Program.

PARENT MEETINGS Our goal is to coordinate parent meetings for each team to present our ideas to the families participating in the program. The goal of these meetings will be for the teams to become familiar with one another, to allow the coaches to outline their team plan for the season and introduce the team management staff and there will be representation from the Van Island Wave Leadership Team present. Each of the teams will be notified well in advance of the time, date and location for the respective parent meeting. INDIVIDUAL TEAM MEETINGS WITH VAN ISLE WAVE LEADERSHIP STAFF Our goal is to coordinate individual team meetings with the Van Island Wave Leadership group to share their experiences from the CPL Tournament and introduce the Van Isle Wave “Powered by PFC” Program Goals. Each of the teams will be notified well in advance of the time, date and location for each individual team meeting with the Van Island Wave Leadership Staff. GUEST PLAYERS The ability to bring in players in on trial will remain the responsibility and discresion of the Van Island Wave Coaching Staff and Van Island Wave Leadership Group. Any and all guest players will be recognized as being “on trial” and not be deemed more than a guest player for the duration of their respective trial. It is critical in evaluating players “on-trial” that the program be granted the freedom to operate in a professional and respectful manner at all times. In the event the presence of “guest players” presents a problem and/or concern for any parent be sure to contact Lyn Pakos to express your concern regarding the trial process that can and will be employed by Van Island Wave Model. Any and all players interested in the Van Island Wave Program must communicate with their respective club Technical Director rather than reach out or try to communicate
