In light of our new Friday session plans, we anticipated some questions from parents re PYC
covid regulations and Scot Gov guidance, and PYC compliance with both....
(1) Scot Gov Guidance on U12s and indoor contact sports...
“Children aged 11 and under are permitted to play organised contact sport both indoors and
outdoors. Providers must ensure they operate as per the guidance”
Young people (aged 12 and over) and adults are permitted to play organised contact sport
outdoors only.
(2) Both the chairman and Sal will be on the premises at both sessions, and will supervise
these sessions. We advise that one team manager from Reds & Whites would ideally be present at each of their teams sessions. We leave it up to the team managers to work out who is in a position
to attend, and for them to make that decision. Its an attendance role for team managers only, as due to space restrictions, there will be no skill sessions or recognised coaching. Teams of 3 or 4
will be selected and we’ll just let the boys play.
(3) Boys will be requested to use hand sanitisers situated i n PYC foyer, on entering and
leaving.
(4) PYC have a sanitising system in place as reflected in our Covid Risk Assessment, with all
touch points encountered during each PYC session, being sanitised between sessions. On a daily basis, and given the very busy programme at PYC the sanitisation of touch points and equipment wipe down
is fairly extensive. However the Friday evening Academy sessions will be very manageable. I envisage only parts of the small goals, Front door and hall door handles. Toilet touch points will be
sanitised after each individual toilet visit. Only the lower level small disabled toilet is being used.
Three points worth noting:-
* The Friday evening sessions are optional, and attendance isn’t
compulsory.
* A team management presence is being advised as we require to adhere to Academy & PYC
Child Protection guidance, with 2 adults required in the hall, during both sessions.
* If either of the sessions encounter low attendance levels, we‘ll have no alternativ e, than
to cancel, future sessions
