2020 BASL Junior/Youth Season Update

‼️ SEASON & COVID-19 UPDATE ‼️

With Regional Victoria now entering Stage 3 Restrictions, community sport is not allowed to continue during this minimum 6 week period, resulting in the current BASL Junior & Youth Seasons coming to a halt.

And although the news is disheartening, the work and effort that all clubs undertook to get a season up and running was very much worth it to see the satisfaction and enjoyment on the faces of the kids for rounds that were completed.

We are now currently awaiting further official updates from the Bendigo Amateur Soccer League (BASL), as they weigh up all options in regards to if a season is viable or not. A official decision has not yet been made, we will communicate any updates when we receive them.
As we are awaiting confirmation surrounding the potential end to the current season, as a club we are looking at alternative opportunities, if the season is cancelled, that we can provide to our players to get them on the pitch having a kick, when the Government says its safe to do so.

We have received a few messages about fees, and what a potential cancellation means for fees. If a cancellation of the season was to occur, we would have to wait for BASL and Football Victoria (FV) to provide correspondence surrounding a refund of fees from the money they have received. As a club, our Committee will appropriately discuss and consider the options we have at the current moment in time, and once we receive all information from BASL & FV a formal decision will be made and communicated.

We understand that everyone's personal circumstances are altering day to day, and if you are in a position of financial hardship and may require help, please reach out and get in contact with us.

For now we ask you all to please stay safe and healthy. We strongly encourage you all to adhere to Government's latest restrictions. If we want to return to normality, we need to follow these restrictions.
Do you want to see your kids out on the pitch enjoying themselves again?
We do, so if we all play our part we can achieve that sooner rather than later.

We are more than just a club at Epsom, we're a community. So check in with fellow players, parents, and families to ensure that they are healthy and safe. We are facing uncertain times, and that is very overwhelming to people, so reach out to others to see if they're okay and don't hesitate reach out if you need help.

For now though as a club, we will continue to try and offer support to our Epsom FC community. In doing so, we will communicate regular updates on what is occurring, important information and any assistance that may be available. If you have any question, please send us an inbox and we will get back to you.

Stay safe, healthy and follow the rules.
- The Epsom FC Committee
