Football on hold

We hope that our community and club families are keeping safe (and sane) during this unpreceden­ted time.

As the situation concerning COVID-19 is one that is rapidly changing, the Ōmokoroa Football Club feels it is vital that we take the necessary and relevant precaution­s advised by health profession­als. As a club, we are guided by WAIBOP with relation to the upcoming season and related events and competitio­ns.

WAIBOP has cancelled all community football until 2nd May - at this point which was the originally scheduled date for the start of the 2020 season competitio­n grading games. This cancellati­on also includes all WAIBOP courses being run between now and the beginning of the season (Coaching and Refereeing Courses), Futsal and other pre-season related WAIBOP events.

While we’re all locked down, behind the scenes, the club is still readying for the upcoming season in case 2nd May becomes the start day for the 2020 season. If the season does not go ahead, we will refund your fees or if easier, carry these over to 2021.

With lockdown now in place, all training sessions, our club working bee, open day, coaching sessions and boot swap will all take place at a later date to be arranged. Keep safe and be kind!
