The Valley Royals Track & Field Club is pleased to announce that Coach Harold Willers, who recently retired from coaching throws for the club, will be inducted into the Abbotsford Sports Hall of Fame for 2020 to honour his 30+ years of Coaching Excellence in Track & Field.
The Abbotsford Sports Hall of Fame has announced that they hope to induct the classes of 2020 and 2021 on the same evening when it is safe to gather at an event called the Doubleheader Celebration of Sport.
More details about the other inductees for 2020, and a request for nominations for 2021, are available in a news article published today on page A41 of the November 26th edition of the Abbotsford News.
Congratulations Harold!

Note: JD Winter Conditioning is not normally offered because JDs are encouraged to try other sports in the winter. This is best for their growth and development (see Long Term Athlete Development page). However, due to Covid causing many other sport programs to be cancelled, the club has created the JD Winter Conditioning in an effort to fill the gap.
