FAW Return to Play Protocols 27/3/2021 [Updated]

By Gary Thomas

The FAW have today issued Return To Play Protocols which allow Under 18s (but not Youth or Seniors) to restart

The WWYL League Committee have received clarity over the announcement

Firstly, we will not be allowed to run any form of competition this season. The Community Game Board cancelled all leagues and cups at youth level back in February and that decision remains.

However, clubs will be able to organise friendlies between themselves. As before, just make sure that the home team emails the league secretary Neil Jacobi in advance for approval - please make sure you give at least 5 days' notice of any proposed friendly fixture as we want to ensure that teams have sufficient gaps between fixtures.

Secondly, make sure you follow the protocols! They are in force in the WWFA area and override any previous WWFA decision to suspend football activity.

Summary of New Protocols

  • Outdoor organized activity can resume for U18s from Saturday 27 th March 2021
  • All outdoor activity for players U18 that was permitted prior to the national lockdown
  • announced on 19 th December 2020 will be able to resume from this date
