Return to Play Protocols – Update 25-6-2020

AFL Victoria have today released their return to play protocols for 2020. These provide clarity for clubs, participants and spectators moving forward and if supported by clubs, pave the way for a return to football and netball. Protocols for Netball are being updated with the latest info and will be released shortly.

 

The information is now with our clubs to review and assess, with an announcement on all senior sport to be made on Monday June 29th.  

 

An announcement on our Junior Sport (Football & Netball) start dates will be made later today. 

 

Key points for the AFL Outer East Community from the SRV latest update include:

• For people aged 18 years and under, full-contact community sport training and competition may resume.
• Spectators for outdoor training and competitions must abide by gathering restrictions – spectators should be in groups of no more than 10 and spread out around the ground or venue. The group of 10 does not include those necessary for the activity to occur, such as the umpire or trainer and a parent or carer supporting a person with a disability to participate. (No cap on crowds apply)
• From mid-July – subject to the advice of Victoria’s Chief Health Officer and the continued management of the spread of corona-virus (COVID-19), adults can resume full-contact training from 13 July and full-contact competition from 20 July.

We welcome these announcements and will work with our clubs over the next period to finalise our position on all competitions, Netball and Football by Monday June 29th
