Summer Program Format

On July 1^st we entered Step 3 of the Provincial Restart Plan. As we progress through the summer with the proposed provincial schedule for opening up for sport, the WVBC will follow government legislation with regards to Public Health Orders. Although COVID-19 restrictions are easing, the WVBC will continue to take precautions to ensure the health and well being of all participants. With this said, Step 3 of the Provincial Restart plan includes below:

• Mask mandate is lifted and removed. Masks are not required for outdoor or indoor sports. It is recommended for those 12 and over who have not been fully vaccinated to wear masks while indoors and away from the field of play.
• There are no physical distancing requirements in any setting (indoor or outdoor)
• Competition and scrimmaging is now allowed

Therefore, in addition to skill development, WVBC summer camps will also include small sided games and scrimmaging.
