Caledon SC planning to run games next month

By Robert Belardi 

If the European Championships have provided all kinds of excitement to soccer fans then the local club in the community will most definitely provide excitement right on the pitch. 

About 250 competitive players within Caledon Soccer Club returned to the pitch last week and the Tiny Tykes program began again last weekend. With the Ontario government introducing their return to play mandate on June 14, all there is just the waiting game before matches can resume. 

“The regional league is tentatively set to start July 12,” said coach and technical director Terry Madison. 

“They're just waiting on some stuff from the government. If not, then July 23. They want to run a league (for competitive) all the way until the end of September so that we can get 12 games in.” 

Once competitive leagues are permitted to return, Madison added that the house league program will follow suit. House league games would be planned to run from July 19 until the first week of September. Uniforms are on the way in and teams are slowly being assembled.

The Ontario Cup is being planned and a return date has not been set in stone just yet. 

“It's a busy time and we got less time to prepare. But everyone is working at it and it's super that way.” 

Parents who bring their children to practice must drop off their child and leave. COVID-19 screening questions are constantly being done and monitors are at the fields. If ever a case arose or anything were to happen, the club is prepared with all of their sheets and documents for tracing. 

Once the summer is complete, and hopefully a successful summer with no complications happens, Madison is hopeful the indoor league will be available to run through the winter.
