COVID-19 Resources
With the practices being cancelled, and the other restrictions on all players due to the COVID-19 crisis, VSSL is looking at how best to provide support. One way is to let you know about organisations and programs that may be useful to you, and we will be communicating with you regularly as we receive more information.
We hope that the following links will be useful:
