Outdoor Season Update – Durham Region enters Phase 1 of Ontario Soccer’s Ready To Play Guidelines.

Good afternoon, I hope this email finds you and your families all safe and healthy.

It’s been a little while since we have published any news, so we thought it would be a good idea to give everyone a short update on what’s going on relative to the League and the summer Season.

Durham Region, entered into Phase 2 of Ontario’s Reopening plans on Friday and today Ontario Soccer announced that Durham Region can enter into Phase 1 of the Return to Play guidelines.

The specific soccer phases are not tied directly to the Ontario reopening ones, but they are loosely coupled, and should follow approx one Phase behind the Ontario plan..

The 3 phases of Return to Play for Ontario Soccer are as follows:

Phase 1: Return to Training (modified training)  – THIS IS WHERE WE NOW ARE

Conditions: All Phase 1 Return to Train conditions are met

Restrictions: No contact, no league, exhibition, festival or tournament games

Phase 2Return to Training and Modified Games (enhanced training & modified games)

Conditions: All Phase 2 Return to Train conditions are met

Inter-squad and Intra-squad modified games permitted (only within the Club/Academy)

Restrictions:   No league, exhibition, festival or tournament games

Phase 3Return to Soccer (regular competition, games and training)

Conditions: Social distancing restrictions have been lifted

Restrictions: None

The phases outlined above apply equally to all recreational, competitive and high performance level soccer.

Before DASLeague can officially enter into Phase 1, we have to submit some paperwork to DRSA and Ontario Soccer to get approval.    Once we enter into Phase 2, we will be able to have scrimmages and pick up games with registered players.    

Note we still also haven’t gotten approval for field permits, but the hope and expectation is they will align with Phase 2 dates.

We are in the process of preparing registration, but are hoping for a little more clarity before we open it up.   As the earliest likely start date will be mid-July having a full season is not possible, so we are discussing alternate options such as running pickup games, a friendly league similar to Monday’s indoor or some other format that we can get up and running quickly and keep costs low and get everyone out playing footy.

The board is meeting regularly, and we are in touch with all the captains.   If you you are new to the league and/or not part of an existing team and want to play this summer in whatever our modified format ends up being, please email me at prez@dasleague.com 

For more information about Ontario Soccer status, the best source of information is https://www.ontariosoccer.net/ but keep an eye out for a registration email and link in the next couple of weeks.

Status of DASLeague

Please note that DASLeague is not running an indoor season this year, however if you are interested in playing in a pickup league. Please contact us at https://dasleague.com/contact/ for more information.

You can also request being added to the mailing list to get notified about the resumption of outdoor in the spring.

Suspension of Fall Indoor Soccer for 2020

The league has made the decision in the light of the uncertainty surrounding COVID that we will NOT have a Fall indoor soccer league this year.   Later in the Fall we will review our position to determine if will resume activities in January and potentially offer a winter session or focus our attention on being ready for outdoor in the Spring.   

This wasn’t an easy decision as there have been many positive indications and encouraging reductions in COVID spread and cases in Durham Region, however with the threat of a potential “second wave” in the Fall, and some increases in case as the restrictions have been eased, we feel we would prefer to wait until at least later in the Fall before considering restarting.

As things evolve, we will message all our members as well as post updates when pertinent on our website.

Hope you all have a great Fall, and hope to see you sometime in the New Year,

Thanks,

Steve 

DASLeague President

COVID-19 Update. All activities cancelled in May.

Ontario Soccer is announcing today, as further follow up to the Ontario Soccer and Canada Soccer announcements of March 12 and March 13 as well as the Ontario Soccer announcement of March 24, that all sanctioned in-person soccer events and activities for the month of May have been cancelled or postponed.

For full details please read the full bulletin from Ontario Soccer here.

COVID-19 Update

Just wanted to reach out and provide a status and some resources you can keep abreast of activities.

As a member or DRSA (Durham Region Soccer Association), who are in turn members of OSA (Ontario Soccer Association), we must comply with the direction provided by OSA regarding Soccer activities.

As of late last week, OSA have cancelled all soccer activities until the end of April.   As this is a very fluid situation, We expect that we will be given direction on a month by month basis until a clear path is evident.  

DASLeague has not, and will not make any decision about the reminder of our indoor season and the upcoming outdoor season until such time as we are confident we can provide some real information.

We would also like to encourage everyone to follow the recommendations provided by Public Health Canada and Health Ontario   If anything, we urge you to err on the side of caution with these guidelines.  The more strictly we follow them, the less people will get sick, and the quicker we can be playing soccer again.

To keep up on the latest updates about soccer in Ontario, you can check the OSA website which is the latest news:
