Covid-19 Update
Return to training – Non-contact training in pods of 15 will be permitted for our underage (any registered team at U18 and below) teams from the 26th of April. As with previous return to training, the key control measures remain completion of the online education module and completion of the Health Questionnaire before each session. Our head coaches will be in touch with their teams before this date.
Also note that all indoor facilities must remain closed.
Attendance at training – In general, only players and coaches of the relevant team should attend any training session. One Parent or Guardian per child (or per family if more than one child is attending from a particular family) is permitted to attend in a safeguarding /supervisory capacity involving any team in the U-18 or below age group, should they consider it necessary. However strict social distancing and public health guidelines should be adhered to at all times.
In particular, it is important that parents do not congregate in groups before or after sessions, outside of what is permitted in current Government regulations.
