COVID-19 Resources
Update: With the latest provincial health orders, the VSSL has re-started our Sunday 10:00AM practices at Andy Livingston Field. Players are asked to wear masks before and after the practice, sanitize their hands and keep a safe distance away from others. At this time spectators are asked to stay home. We recommend that all players get vaccinated for their own health and for the health and safety of the community.
We hope that the following links will be useful:
