Local soccer program ‘kicks off’ in the Battlefords
The Battlefords United Football Club (BUFC) began their training this week, as part of the local soccer organization’s return to the sport this summer.
The soccer season will not feature games against other communities this summer, and – at least for the time being – will not feature games locally either. Instead, the focus will be on skill development and training.
That said, head coach and competitive co-coordinator with BUFC, Kat Huxley does remain hopeful there could be the possibility for something more interactive moving forward.
“Within our training sessions we’ll progress from social distancing and having no contact to hopefully eventually, by the end of the summer, being able to scrimmage within our teams that we have training,” she said.
