April will see all the HoundDogs teams return to training at their home ground, Horsebridge Recreational ground. After the Governments announcement, the HoundDogs committee have been awaiting further information around rules and guidance for the return to training.

Similar rules will be in place for attendees as when the club returned temperately back in September with regularly hand washing, but the club are now allowed to use more equipment that previously had to remain in the store.

Among new rules are a weekly form that will need to be returned each week for children to be able to train. Below is a link to that form for all parents to use.

Chairman Luke Boorer added “We are delighted to return to training. I have spoken to several of the older players who also can not wait to get back on the pitch. We know there is still a long way to go with regards to a league season but we are hopeful that we will see all the players playing games in 2021. I would like to thank all the parents who have been very positive about returning to training and the rules that this means we have to put in place as well as our NGB BAFA.”
