Surrey Youth League Corona virus Announcement

Following an announcement from the Football Association the executive committee of the Surrey Youth League have taken the difficult decision to postpone all league games and league events cup finals etc. until after the Easter School Holidays at the earliest.

Sheen Lions Training

Sheen Lions training sessions are also suspended for the time being. A further announcement will be made when we decide that it will be safe to resume.

14th April 2020 Update

The National FA have called a halt to the 2019/2020 season. It is effectively over. We appreciate the massive disappointment this will cause our players and indeed 13,000 plus players in the league. Whilst that can never be underestimated these are unprecedented times and call for unprecedented measures.

While you are waiting try to stay fit, healthy and safe. Our coaches are generating lots of videos to help you. http://sheenlions.com/sheen-lions-coaches-on-instagram/

15th May 2020 Update

The FA has today issued guidance to all grassroots football and informal football activity outside the professional game. Consistent with Government advice, published on Wednesday 13 May, the following outdoor football activity is currently permitted:

• playing football individually e.g. practice of individual skills or fitness activities;
• playing football with your family or other people living in your household;
• an individual can play football with one other person who is not from their household.
• coaching an adult player one to one.

If an individual is symptomatic, living in a household with a possible COVID-19 infection or if you are classified as extremely vulnerable on health grounds, the guidance is that you should remain at home.

The following football activity is not permitted at this time, consistent with Government guidelines:

• coaching a child (U18) from a different household one to one. In order to comply with The FA’s safeguarding policy, a child must have a parent/carer with them, which doesn’t comply with Government social distancing requirements;
• two or more people from one household playing with one person or more from outside their household.  

Current Sheen Lions Activity

It’s very frustrating but with more rain to come tomorrow and Saturday, Continental Landscapes have made the decision to cancel all bookings this coming weekend.

This means no training on Saturday and no HOME games on Sunday.

Those teams due to play at home on Sunday may want to ask opponents if they can host.

The SYL will be supporting the FA’s silent weekend on Sunday 24th November and encourage all U-7 to U-11 teams to support this initiative.

Sheen Lions will observe this at our U7 to U11 matches on Sunday 24th November.

It will not apply at our U7 (or U6) friendlies on Saturday 23rd as these are training games and not League competition.
