Return to Football
Since the return to football, we have been working hard to meet the necessary requirements and ensure that football training is introduced in a manner which is compliant with Health & Safety and FAW Safer Return to Play Protocols.
Some of the measures that have been implemented include:
- Appointment of Fes Malik as COVID19 Compliance Officer
- Completion of a Covid-19 checklist which was submitted to the FAW before training could recommence
- Completion of a Covid-19 Risk Assessment for both the AVFL & R.C.T. Council
- Completion and distribution of safety guidance to ensure training environments are COVID secure

Prior to Training or Matches
Everyone will be required to undertake self-check prior to attending training as these will be important to prevent transmission among people who are unaware that they are carriers of the virus.
Your child should not attend training if:

- they have developed a new continuous cough
- they have shortness of breath or sore throat
- they have a loss of or change in normal sense of taste or smell
- they are feeling unwell;
- you or your child are showing symptoms of the virus or have been in contact/living in a household with someone displaying symptoms within the last two weeks
During Training or Matches
- At the training facility only the players, coaches and helpers will be allowed onto the training pitch. Parents will not be allowed to enter the training pitch.
- All players and coaches / helpers will be provided with hand sanitiser as they enter and leave the pitch.
- Players (Under 12 and above) must maintain social distancing before attendance, after attendance and during drinks breaks
- We will be required to compile a register of all players and coaches / helpers at each training session. This to aid the contact tracing process should that be required.

- Please ensure that your child has their own water bottle which is clearly labelled. They will not be permitted to share this with others.
