With more information than ever before, we know you’ll find the answers to most questions on our website.
PFC coaches, team staff and match officials continue to meet virtually as we monitor the current COVID19 restrictions. With the Provincial Government confirming the extended lockdown into May this has confirmed the completion of our Indoor 2020-2021 season.

Staff will be issuing refunds direct to the credit card with which the registration was made.  

We continue to encourage our membership to use the Ontario Soccer template letter and contact our own local MPs, MPPs, Municipal Officials and Public Health Units. The letter, which can be found here, may be replicated. It details why soccer is well-positioned for a safe Return to Play this summer and how our communities can be leaders in a holistic solution to dealing with the damaging effects Covid-19 has had on Ontario. Despite the current return to Grey Zone this message is still very important as we look ahead to the month of May and beyond.

3. What are the plans for 2021 outdoor recreational? Is registration open? 
We are planning and working towards a 2021 Outdoor Season subject to the Covid guidelines that we all must follow.
Our friends at the Woodstock Soccer Club have been very creative on their outdoor neighbourhood walks. Tim, the Vice President, has been posting videos on the "WSC For All" Twitter handle of his neighbourhood walks with is son Nathan, who has Autism. 
 
These videos feature Nathan doing a variety of soccer skills, as they take breaks during their walks. Keep up the great work Nathan!!

Ontario Soccer is hosting its 2021 Match Official Clinics online. There is space available in these clinics and for more information on how to register please CLICK HERE.

There are user guides for Students to review to help with the registration process and the expectations of the clinics. When registering you will be asked to identify a club so please remember to enter Pickering FC! Once you register we will add you to our contact list to keep in touch with you regarding PFC Match Official Education Sessions and updates on the 2021 Outdoor season.

The online clinics end on May 27th, so if you are interested you will need to start the clinic no later than May 15th in order to have enough time to complete the modules before attending the mandatory webinar and writing the exam.
