"Buffalos FC is monitoring the situation with the Coronavirus very closely. 
The health and safety of players, families and staff is of the utmost importance."
- Chris Sage (Director of Coaching)

All players MUST complete the TeamSnap Health Check Questions prior to attending any in person BFC Event, Training Sessions and Games!

If you do not pass the health check questions, or if you were notified by your school, work, friend, family, or anyone that you might have been exposed and you should self-quarantine, or if you start to experience any symptoms, you must report this to Buffalos FC - Immediately.   

If we all do our part and follow these guidelines and procedures, we can keep our families safe, stop the spread and continue to play.   

Buffalos FC reserves the right to remove players from play who are not following BFC Return-To-Play Guidelines and Procedures; this includes players who do not complete the Health Check Questions for all training sessions, club in-person events and games. 

WHEN IN DOUBT SIT IT OUT

Remove Yourself From Play & Report any and all concerns so the club can evaluate the level of risk.  We understand every situation is different, so if you are not sure how to proceed simply remove yourself from play, report the incident and we will be in contact with you ASAP to determine next steps.
