Therefore it’s best to be clear on what each key date means for you, so you can begin your preparation now.
Roadmap out of lockdown – key dates for your club 8th March
Schools will reopen, which also allows for breakfast clubs, after school clubs, and general wraparound childcare to restart. This means if your club usually runs in-school training sessions, you can start offering these again
It’s possible that COVID testing will be introduced in secondary schools. Perhaps that’s something your club could think about, too? It would be a good idea to work with your local authority to establish what is possible
29th March
This is an exciting date for many clubs, as greece rcs data formally organised outdoor sports can recommence
That means outdoor sports facilities, such as tennis and basketball courts, can reopen
Also on this date, the rule of six will be reintroduced; allowing up to six people or two households to meet in outdoor settings
By this point, all indoor leisure facilities, such as gyms and swimming pools, can reopen for use of people on their own or with others from their household
Whilst adult clubs are not permitted to restart yet, on this date all children’s activities will restart. – whether they operate and practise indoors or outdoors – can restart
Organised indoor sports and exercise classes for adults can reopen on this date, meaning all of your club’s age groups can begin training again
In addition, sporting events can reopen their doors to crowds and spectators, with indoor venues allowed to host 1,000 people (or be at half capacity; whichever is lower) and outdoor venues allowed to welcome up to 4,000 people (again, or be at half capacity; whichever is lower)
21st June
This is the final milestone of the roadmap, whereby (if all goes to plan) all social contact restrictions are released
The roadmap is brilliant news for grassroots clubs across the country. And hopefully this breakdown has provided some clarity around what each stage means for your club, so that you can start planning.
