IMPORTANT NOTICE - COVID 19

To all connected with Tankerton FC

You will appreciate we are all currently dealing with a complex and rapidly changing situation concerning Covid19 (Coronavirus)

Tankerton FC’s priority will always be the health and safety of our players, coaches and all concerned with football at Tankerton. More now than ever this remains our primary focus.

This situation is unprecedented and we are following official advice from the Government, the NHS and the Football Association. Such advice is being updated daily which we are monitoring, consulting and responding as it is published.

This official advice must underpin all the actions we take.

At present therefore:

ALL non-essential contact with others must be avoided as well as unnecessary travel and unfortunately sport at this present time is Non-Essential.

The FA have stated that amateur football clubs across England should postpone activity for the foreseeable future. This includes grassroots football not just playing matches but training also. As a Club we advise all concerned with Coaching not to arrange or attend unauthorised training activities; apart from the obvious health risks, these activities will not be covered by insurance.

Whilst it is accepted that everybody will have a range of different viewpoints as to how this situation could be managed we hope you appreciate that Tankerton FC have carefully considered the actions required to confront this situation but ultimately we are duty bound to follow the official advice from the appropriate bodies.

Please be assured that the situation will be carefully monitored and further updates will be forthcoming.
