Hello all,

Please see the updated notice from Alberta Soccer Associating regarding the GOA decision to not allow the splitting of fields. This decision was reversed late this afternoon.

Through significant public pressure from within the greater sport community (including what I am told is thousands of soccer people) and with support from Alberta Health we have managed to push the GOA back into allowing field splitting in the manner that was previously being used under the 8&2 model...

Hi Soccer Enthusiasts,

Hope you are well.  CNS received an email update today.  Due to the short notice, we will be cancelling the session tonight.

CNS will arrange for replacement sessions so only a group of 10 will occupy the entire field.  Stay tuned...

Stay safe & healthy, CNS Administration

Good Morning Admins & TDs;

Late last night Alberta Soccer received and update on the field splitting guidelines for indoor spaces from the Government of Alberta.

“In accordance with the return to step 1 of the re-opening plan there is no allowance for splitting indoor fields for 8 & 2 group training.

As of today, April 8, 2021, INDOOR FIELD SPLITTING IS NOT ALLOWED. For outdoor spaces we can continue to use space through splitting as long as physical distancing at a minimum of 3 meters between training groups is maintained. Please see the specific language from the GOA below;

  • Only one youth group can occupy an indoor playing surface at a time (for example, arenas, fields, courts or pools).
  • An outdoor playing surface (for example, arena, field, court or swimming pool) may be occupied by more than one youth group, as long as 3-metres of physical distancing can be maintained between groups of 10 and the groups do not intermingle.”

Thanks, CMSA

Good morning club president’s, technical directors and club administrators,

As communicated by the Government of Alberta and Alberta Health Services, no changes will be made to the current restrictions in place. ASA’s suspension of all in-person soccer activities will continue until further notice.

We know that you have questions regarding the indoor and outdoor season, please see the information below:

2020-2021 Indoor Season

  • Games will continue to be cancelled until the suspension on competition play has lifted.
    • Should we return to soccer in a phased in approach, such as Return to Train, CMSA scheduled field time for games will be allocated to the scheduled home teams of each game so teams can use the time and space for training.
    • CMSA league games will resume immediately when able to do so. For example: IF the government announces on Feb. 1 that games can resume on Feb. 2, 2021, CMSA games will resume on Feb. 2, 2021 with the scheduled games.
  • The season has been extended until April 15, 2021.

2021 Outdoor Season

  • The 2021 Program Calendar and League Structure will be communicated as the 2021-2023 Technical Plan is published.

Although yesterday’s announcement is disappointing, CMSA remains ready to resume the season when the public health authorities ease the current restrictions and state that it is safe for sport to resume.

Thank you, CMSA
