Training Field Allocation & Schedule



Venue Entry & Exit Pathing

• Follows are a series of slides that provide guidance on training venue entry and exit pathing.

• Pathing has been standardised so that players exit the opposite side of the field from their entry.

• COACHES are responsible for ensuring players mustered together do not exceed 20 players.

• Pathing may need to be adjusted to support other users at the same venue eg Phillip – Coaches should collaborate with other users to align pathing during high traffic periods.

• At all times ensure appropriate social distancing is observed in pathing.

• It is highly likely our behaviour and adherence to this plan will be observed – do not risk shortcuts, this is a time for leadership.

Equipment• Coaches are to collect equipment in accordance with the training schedule. What this means is your first training session will be equipment collection & plan understanding instead of training.

• Equipment issues will commence on 2nd June.

• Equipment will include a ‘hygiene pack’ comprising sanitiser / wipes / gloves etc necessary to support a safe training environment.

• Coaches are not to issue any equipment to players.

• Coaches should only bring equipment necessary for the training session – nothing more.

• Only the coach can handle / setup / pack up equipment.

• All equipment brought to a training session is to be disinfected at the end of the session.

• Keep control of cleaning activities to ensure they are both effective and efficient – collect and remove all rubbish.

• Access to the Equipment store is limited to: Equipment Manager (Cristian Meza), Master in Charge (Charles Bootes), Club President and Vice President.



Coaches & Volunteers• Coaches Need to:

• maintain a participant attendance log • ensure guidelines are adhered to• manage hygiene and pathing onto and off the field• focus on participation and getting football back into the rhythm of life

• err on the side of safety at all times.

• In the event a coach becomes ill they must cease coaching immediately. Redundancy in all teams is essential, parents need to be prepared to step up – it will happen.

• Some teams are without a primary coach let alone assistant. Reconsider your availability if your team is one of the these.

• The TD will post a weekly training session for use by new coaches / training facilitators (parents) to fall back on.

• Coaching courses are now available through a mixed online and practical delivery model. The club assists with payment.
