Training Rules

Arrive and leave as close as possible to when you are due at the club.

Only one parent/guardian should accompany younger players where possible.

Players should arrive ready to train. There will be no access to showers during this phase.

Players should, ideally, bring a small bottle of hand sanitizer and antiseptic wipes with them to train.

Players should only travel to training by car from members of the same household

To protect against infection

• Players must refrain from handshakes and high fives.
• Always keep 2 metres away from other people.
• Do not share food, towels, and drinks.
• Wash your hands frequently with soap and water or hand-sanitizer, before and after eating, after going to the toilet, sneezing, and coughing.
• Cover your coughs and sneezes and dispose of any used tissue in your own bag and bring it home with you.
• Avoid touching your face.
• Keep your distance from people who are obviously sick.
• Try not to touch any surfaces, but if you do sanitize your hands as soon as possible.
• Remain apart from other players when taking a break.

When Training/Play Finishes

• Once training has finished players should leave the centre promptly.
• Hands should be washed and sanitised as soon as possible.
• Ensure equipment is cleaned thoroughly after use.
• If a player becomes unwell after training, they should first contact their GP/HSE and then inform the centre. The centre will then follow advice provided to them by the HSE on the next steps.
• Members should be encouraged to remind other members of the guidelines, in a gentle way, when they witness poor practices.
• Repeated poor practice should be reported to the centre as soon as possible.

Equipment

• Practice caution with the equipment. Sanitise all handheld implements prior to and after use e.g., Rackets and Shuttles.
• Coaches must bring and only use their own equipment. This includes any training equipment, towels and water bottles.
• Players should not share this equipment with or use the equipment of other members.
• Although there is no specific evidence that equipment can spread COVID-19, we know that contamination from respiratory droplets from an infected person can potentially survive on hard surfaces for up to three days.
• Clean equipment with a disinfectant spray at the beginning and conclusion of training. Equipment should be clean when applicable throughout training sessions.
