Covid-19 Code of Conduct

Introduction

The FA have set out guidelines for Clubs returning to football. We take this very seriously and want to ensure everyone is as safe a possible when carrying out any football activity with Milford Pumas. Although this may seem a lot of extra effort it is worth it to ensure the safety of everyone involved.

We will maintain this page to communicate the latest updates in relation to our Club's processes for restarting football in relation to Covid-19.

All 'participants' (players, parents, volunteers, first aiders and team officials) must read this information and ensure they have completed the checklist which applies before the start of the season as well as during any football activity.
