SANFL Community Football | Return to Play Update | as at 19 June 2020
The purpose of this email is to provide an update on three key points:
Further easing of COVID-19 restrictions following the positive State Government announcements today
SANFL Return to Play Roadmap
The critical update following the announcements today are highlighted below in red:
From Friday 19 June (Today):
• Full squad training can commence
• No mandated training configurations
• Internal trial matches can occur
• Records of participants are no longer required
• Access to changerooms and toilets permitted, however no showers or wet areas
• Up to 300 spectators can attend training/matches – record of attendance not required
• Sale of food and beverage, including alcohol permitted
From Friday 26 June
• Full Squad Training Continues
• Inter-Club Trial Matches Permitted
• Competition Matches Permitted
• Up to 300 spectators can attend training/matches plus the above points highlighted in red
From Friday 3 July
• Competition with Spectators of at least 500 (limits and protocols being finalised)
• Wet Area Access (restrictions and protocols being finalised)
• Sale of food and beverage, including alcohol permitted
As highlighted, the restrictions associated with a return to competition are constantly improving and moving in a positive direction. We expect further detail next week regarding restrictions and protocols relating to match day management, in particular wet area access from Friday 3 July. This will be addressed at the League/Club webinar sessions next week, so we ask that you wait for further information via that platform.
In short, we are extremely confident that leagues and clubs that have set a commencement date will be positioned to play football in an environment which is not only extremely viable, but which is far more advanced than we could have all had hoped for only a short time ago.
