With the new season starting this weekend there are a few new rules and procedures we would like everyone to follow when attending Forres Area Soccer 7s. If parents/guardians could pass on this information to the players it would be a great help.
Before play
We would prefer only one parent/guardian per child……normal social distancing/protocols should be adhered to at all times whilst on site
We wish to implement a one way system onto and off the pitch managed by our Covid officer. An attendance register will be taken to allow track and trace if necessary. Hand sanitiser available at entry and exit points.
Players are to arrive ready to play with boots on etc
Only the manager/coach will be allowed on the pitch with players
Distance of at least 2m from the playing area should be maintained
Please ensure no unnecessary congregation
Do not handle or touch any kit that does not belong to you
During play
Coaches to social distance at all times
Hand sanitiser available for use in between games and at end of play
Drinks bottles only on the pitch identified by child’s initials to be kept in the designated kit area
Players must demonstrate social distancing before and after play (coaches to monitor/enforce)
3 training balls supplied per team for warm up purpose please clean before beginning match and store in bag
Match ball to be used during games
Coaches’ will be responsible for own kit. (stray balls are to be kicked back , do not handle if possible)
Do not touch any kit that you do not need to e.g. goals, poles, corner flags etc
Off pitch during and after play
One person into toilets/building at a time…pavilion only open for toilet use…no changing facilities
No unnecessary congregation
Remember social distancing use hand sanitiser
Please leave as soon as the football has finished and do not let your child wander
Have fun
Kind regards
