Despite continuing uncertainty about whether games can be played the Yorkton Lady Gridders football program is gearing up for a spring season.聽聽
鈥淲e鈥檙e trying to get something happening,鈥� said coach Tyrell MacLean, adding 鈥渨ith COVID we don鈥檛 know what鈥檚 happening.鈥澛犅�
So the organization has decided to be ready. They are taking registration for girls Grades 7 through Grade 12, with the necessary form available at yorkton-minor-football.sportngin.com聽聽
There is always a place for new players too, noted MacLean.聽聽
鈥淕irls are always welcome to come and try it out,鈥� he said.聽聽
While actual games remain up in the air pending provincial COVID requirements, MacLean said they will hit the field 鈥渁fter the May long weekend鈥� with what he termed a 鈥渄evelopmental camp鈥� for the players.聽聽
At the camp they will be restricted to groups of eight, social distanced from other groups, but MacLean said that actually 鈥渨orks well for football,鈥� as they typically 鈥渂reak into smaller groups anyway.鈥澛犅�
MacLean added they will of course be sanitizing equipment and making it as safe as possible for the players.聽聽
As for game play, MacLean said they hope the rules relax in June to allow for at least a couple of games this spring.聽
