PRIOR TO TRAINING:

• Training can only commence when the club has fulfilled the obligation of a Government Mandated COVID Safe Plan. We will be aiming to have this done over the weekend – However, you will be notified once you can commence training. Those who have training scheduled on Teamstuff for next week, be aware that if we haven’t fulfilled our obligations trainings will be cancelled until we have done so.

• Mandatory education briefings in advance of training returning for all players/coaches/staff/officials at every club to outline protocols.

• SANFL Communication – Any league/club official (including coaches) responsible for the conduct of training, match day operations or any other relevant activity should undertake it online via link below: https://www.health.gov.au/resources/apps-and-tools/covid-19-infection-control-training

• The above covid-19 infection control training needs to be completed by all involved in training, prior to commencing training. If this has not been done you cannot train! Please send completed certificate to admin@henleysharks.com.au

TRAINING REQUIREMENTS:

• There is to be no more than 20 players in a group. If you have more than 20 you will need to roster off the extra players each week. This can be done in Teamstuff.

• We will not be undertaking temp checks, but if a player looks unwell they are not to train they are to go straight home. – We will still need you to check off all players attending as stated above.

• The oval will be set as three zones (with only three teams training at a time – with staggered start times) Southern End (Southern Goals – 50m Zone), Middle Oval (Middle section of the oval), Northern End (Northern Goals – 50m Zone).

• You are not at any time allowed to move your designated zone – even if no other team is on that zone. Each team will have a training in front of goals, if you have been giving a second training it will be in the middle of the oval). You will receive a new training schedule asap.

• You are allowed to have up to 4 people (coaches, assistance) help with training – however, we would recommend that you keep this to 2 people where possible for each team.
