ELITE DEVELOPMENT SOCCER SCHOOL

We are so excited to share that London-Middlesex has moved into the Orange Colour Zone. This means we are now able to run our regular schedule – and have all of our sessions in-person!

Whichever weeknight and time slot your child was attending in November/December, will resume the same starting this week.

Sessions begins the week of Tuesday March 2th .We are running the following classes:

1) Tuesday 6:00- 9:00 pm
2)Wednesday 6:00-9:00pm
3) Friday 7:30 -8:30 pm
Location: BMO

As always if you have any questions please reach out. We are happy to help! As we move into the orange colour zone I want to thank everyone for their support during the past few months. We feel incredibly blessed to have such an amazing community behind us during these unprecedented times.

Thank you for your patience.

Urgent Update from the BMO Centre

Dear Friends:

As you know we have done everything we can to comply with the current requirements as outlined under the red zone regulations, including making modifications to our playing fields. We have done this in good faith and with the health and safety of all our patrons being first and foremost. Unfortunately our efforts have been in vane as we have been advised by an officer with the Middlesex London Health Unit (MLHU) that under the new Red Zone restrictions, we are only permitted 10 people on the main field and another 10 people on the expansion field. As you might guess, this is not a financially viable option for us. Sadly, it is for this reason, that effective immediately and until February 28th, (which may be when we move to another zone), we are once again having to shut down our operations due to these restrictions. We are heartbroken by this decision but we truly believe that we have done all we can to accommodate the regulations but unfortunately according to the MLHU, it is not enough. As of today, February 19th, 2021: All rentals are cancelled.

BMO Academy postponed.

Thank you again for your patience and your loyalty to the BMO Centre. We should also let you know that we are taking further steps to see if we can get approval to resume operations as soon as possible, which we hope will be before February 28th.

Yours in Soccer,

Simon Karahalios

Important Updates: EDSS Technical training will resume:
Tuesday Feb 16
Wednesday Feb 17
Friday Feb 19

We are back !!!! ……. EDSS will resume training at BMO starting this Tuesday Feb 16th at 6 pm. The schedule will remain the same as it was prior to Christmas. Whichever weeknight and time slot your child was attending in November/December, will resume the same starting this week.

I was contacted by BMO yesterday and was advised that EDSS will be allowed to start indoor training at the BMO starting Tuesday Feb 16th, 2021…..while in the RED ZONE but with restrictions.

In short, the local public health unit has advised that we can commence training of “10 player groups” if our club implements “physical distancing” measures into its training sessions and follows all the public heath rules that are included as part of being in the Red Zone.

As always, should anyone have any questions about our program, please do not hesitate to contact Coach Isa.

Thank you for your patience.
See you soon.
