Real Billings FC families,

We have reached the light at the end of the tunnel and it is not a train!  Effective May 18, 2020, US Club Soccer will lift its national suspension on activities and delegate to its local members the decision to return to play.  Any club returning to play must strictly follow state and local guidelines.

The Real Billings FC board has discussed this matter and determined that it will allow teams to resume soccer activities on May 19, 2020.  We have approved policies and procedures for teams to return to limited soccer activities.  In drafting these policies and procedures, the foremost consideration was the well-being of our players, staff, parents, and their loved ones.  They are meant to comply with state and local guidelines.  Coaches, team managers, and parents will be responsible to ensure that players and teams strictly follow our policies and procedures.  Players, coaches, and teams will not be allowed to practice if they do not agree to and follow the policies and procedures.  Also, no player or team will be obligated to practice.

Please note that the guidelines under Phase 1 of reopening Montana do not allow for games, including friendlies, tournaments, scrimmages, or small-sided games.  We do not know when we might be able to enjoy the full competition of soccer.  Until then, let’s safely enjoy this small step toward normalcy.

We are aware that some of you might not be ready to return to even limited soccer activities.  We understand completely.  No player will be required to return. 

Regarding refunds, RBFC has submitted all refund requests received this week and will continue to do so on a weekly basis.  We have been informed by our registration provider that refunds could take up to two weeks to show up on your credit card statement.

Thank you for your support and the many encouraging and thoughtful words you have shared with us. 

Regards,

Martin S. Smith
President, Real Billings FC
