KYSA cancels spring season

Kamloops Youth Soccer cancels spring season.

KAMLOOPS — The Kamloops Youth Soccer Association’s Board of Directors met via conference call on Monday, April 13th to determine a course of action for the 2020 Community Spring Season.

KYSA’s Community Spring League was originally scheduled to begin at the end of March with indoor training; however due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all events through April 30th were previously postponed or cancelled. After further discussion with the Board and membership feedback, along with the ongoing information from the government and BC Soccer, the Board has made the difficult decision to cancel the Community Spring League season. KYSA will be communicating with all our registered members to offer full credits or refunds.

The 2020 KYSA Slurpee Cup, scheduled to take place over the May long weekend, has also been cancelled. This would have been the 42nd Annual event in the Tournament Capital. The Slurpee Cup not only supports the Kamloops Youth Soccer Association, but also brings tourism dollars into the City of Kamloops.

Also cancelled are the Mike Bartam Memorial Tournament in May and the Errol Wild Memorial Tournament in June.

“I would like to say thank you to all of the front line workers who are making great sacrifices as we work together to get through the COVID-19 pandemic. These are unprecedented times we are in and as much as we all want to get outside and play soccer, we recognize that this ongoing situation is affecting all of Canada and the world, not just our association. We are actively monitoring the situation and we will be providing new programming options when it is safe to do so. For now, we hope that everyone stays healthy, stays active and stays home,” said Candace Dodson-Willis, KYSA President.
