August 7, Member Update
Saskatchewan Soccer and member organizations continue to adhere to all Government of Saskatchewan Public Health Orders regarding the COVID 19 pandemic.
Return to Soccer Update
With school starting up in less than a month, there will be increased risk of transmission, and more than ever, it will be pertinent that all Member Organizations continue to follow the provincial guidelines, prioritizing participant safety and ensuring proper contact tracing procedures are in place.
This week, we have no updates to report to the Return to Soccer Plan or the FAQ. We have information requests into the Business Response Team and will share updates when available.

HIGH FIVE® Principles of Healthy Child Development online workshop
The HIGH FIVE® Principles of Healthy Child Development-C (PHCD-C) is designed for those working with children aged 4-12 to assist them in enhancing their program quality and ensuring that every child has a positive experience.
This training equips participants with the knowledge about the physical, social, emotional and cognitive attributes of each age and stage of a child's development. They will also learn how to incorporate the three essential design guidelines so that programs are welcoming of diversity and uniqueness, safe and developmentally appropriate.
