PHDL Youth

INFORMATION REGARDING THE PHDL 2020 SEASON

April 25, 2020

Friends in soccer.

On behalf of the staff and the Board of Directors of the Peel Halton Soccer Association, we would like to thank you for your continued support and participation in the beautiful game during these difficult times. Like all of you we remain focused on the needs of our community and safety for all.  We continue to plan in anticipation of the notice for Return to Play.

We would like to take this opportunity to update you on a few league specific items for both the District Youth League U13-U18 and the Grassroots U8-U12 Development League.

Once Ontario Soccer has reached a decision in identifying a Return to Play date, we will be able to apply a model we have developed for the season.

League staff will be in communication with each of you to confirm your entries in both the Development and Youth Leagues.

  • In the event that you have a team which is unable to participate this season, there will be no withdrawal fees or fines applied.
  • If you find that you have an additional team that you want to enter, the league will waive the late entry charge.

League staff will confirm your field permits and advise of potential additional dates needed to complete a season.

Once confirmations are received, we will proceed with scheduling. In view of the abbreviated season we will be cancelling the League Cup for 2020 to reduce the field demand and allow us to get league games completed. Our current model uses a July 2nd start that will allow us to complete YPHDL (U13-U17) by the end of September.  For the Development League we have developed 2 models.  One for a nine-weekend schedule and the second for a seven-weekend schedule.  This would extend the season into September.  Options will be discussed once the Return to Play is given.

  • Blackout dates will only be honoured for tournaments that have already been booked and paid for (proof registration is required)
  • Games cancelled as a result of weather may not be possible to reschedule. In the event a game cannot be rescheduled, the match will be registered as a tie with each team receiving one point.

With the announcements cancelling U21 programs we have received a number of inquiries asking if we would be able to offer under 21 this year. Certainly, we will consider this once the Return to Play date is received. Staff will circulate a questionnaire to see potential registration and field assignment to facilitate an under 21 program.  If you think that you may have teams interested in this age group, please communicate the possibility to the office.

 

For the Development League

  • Coaches will not be required to complete the Laws of the Game session for this year.
  • Coaches who require OS levels, such as FUNdamentals or Learn to Train will be allowed into the system.  Please submit course receipts in the interim.
  • Coaches will still need to show completion of the online courses; Respect in Soccer, Making Headway and Making Ethical Decisions.
  • Individual player awards will be discontinued for this season.
  • Game Day rosters are still in effect.

Once we have the season underway the league will complete a review and recalculation of league fees based on the abbreviated season.

The league is looking to support you in your efforts to serve your members. Collectively, we can deliver a quality Outdoor program in 2020. We understand the strain that this outbreak has placed on clubs, parents and your players. We thank you once again for your support and your service to the community.

Be well, be safe and we look forward to the return of the beautiful game.
