Poolfoot Farm – Covid-19 Information:

A resumption of contact play is only achievable if those involved create and maintain a controlled
environment that minimises the threat of infection.

Risk in sport cannot be completely eradicated but with caution and care these risks can be reduced.

Each player, parent and spectator will need to decide when to return to contact football, based on
their own circumstances and the arrangements that have been put in place for a safe return. This is
particularly the case for players from BAME communities or those with underlying health
conditions.

All those returning to competitive grassroots football at Poolfoot Farm must adopt the following
code of behaviour:

   •   Be aware of your own personal health. If you show any of the Covid-19 symptoms you
       must stay at home, inform NHS Test and Trace and seek medical advice.
   •   Be responsible. Read the guidance provided by The FA and FTFC so that you are aware of
       the changes to the game and what is expected of you. This will include things like being
       prepared to wash your own kit, bringing your own labelled water bottle and being aware of
       changes to meet-up times.
   •   Practise good hygiene. Wash your hands regularly and before, during and after a game.
   •   Maintain social distancing. This won’t always be possible in a competitive match
       environment (for example when tackling an opponent) and that is acceptable. However,
       before, and after a game you should maintain social distancing.
   •   Face coverings. Unless you have an exemption, face coverings are mandatory for all staff in
       retail/hospitality outlets (e.g. a clubhouse). This also applies to users of the facility, except
       when seated at a table to eat or drink.
   •   Support NHS Test and Trace. You will be asked to provide your details so that in the event
       of a Covid-19 outbreak those potentially infected can be traced. This is to everyone’s benefit
       so please co-operate.
   •   Do not spit. Spitting and the rinsing out of mouths is now a recognised risk to health and
       must not be done. Avoid shouting or raising your voice if face to face with other players.
   •   After the game. Be aware that other users may be waiting to use the facilities. Follow all
       advice if using changing rooms and showers.
   •   Please follow one way system. Poolfoot has set up one way systems in and out of the facility
