Welcome to the 2020/21 Junior Hockey Season!

Dear Juniors, Parents and Legal Guardians,


We are delighted to welcome you back to hockey. Training starts on the week commencing 21st September 2020 – 8th December 2020 (coronavirus permitting).


This season due to COVID-19 there are a few extra precautions we all need to take to ensure our hockey is as enjoyable and safe as possible. Please read on. 

COVID-19

  • All parents or guardians of players under the age of 18, and all players aged 18 and above, need to sign a player participation agreement with England Hockey. If this form is not completed participants will not be able to play hockey. Click here to fill in the form. 
  • Please be aware once completing this form it can take up to 48 hours to show on our automatic database, so complete this in advance of training. 
  • If your child is unwell, self-isolating or showing any signs of COVID-19 (which are; a new continuous cough, high temperature, loss of taste or smell) you should not attend training. This includes any siblings. 
  • To comply with government track and trace, all players are required to sign into each training session. We do this via an allocated QR code located at the entrance of the pitch.
  • Please arrive promptly to scan in. If you do not have a mobile phone, please ensure the coach is aware of your arrival who will make a note on paper register.
  • Your child will need to arrive changed, ready for the session and bring their own water bottle. Changing rooms are not open but there are toilet facilities. 
  • Please observe the safety precautions on site; entry and exit signs, hand sanitising and social distancing when not involved in play. Please familiarise yourselves with the WHC Risk Assessment, and England Hockey guidance.
  • At the end of the session please leave promptly, observing social distancing and following the signs.

 

Support

  • If your child is not able to go to the toilet on their own, a parent or guardian will need to stay for the session.
  • If parents or guardians are staying for the session, please observe social distancing and stand outside of the hockey pitch on the grass area.
  • If you need to speak to any of the coaches, please submit a contact form on our website and we will put you in contact.
