As of Monday 23rd of March

As of this Monday, there will be no training sessions for the club until further notice. This is due to the advice that the club officials received yesterday afternoon regarding the level 2 Covid-19 threat. There have been further discussions between the coaches and the president and we think it is everyone’s best interest that we halt any trainings until further notice.

Also, note that this will affect all upcoming competitions and training camps until things return to normal.

For more details about the original post,
please click here.

We are deeply apologetic for any inconvenience that this may cause but we hope that you understand in these unsure times. Please stay safe and look after those that are vulnerable and the HVFC team look forward to things returning to normal as soon as possible.
