***** RETURN TO PLAY NOTICE. PLEASE READ BEFORE ATTENDING *****


Following the announcement from the Prime Minister on 22 September, indoor Under-18s basketball and senior elite basketball remain exempt from the ‘rule of six’ social distancing restrictions. Click here for the latest update and information. Therefore in preparation for our return to training next month, I have listed some information that I believe you should be aware of and some action required on your part before your child can attend.  Please read these carefully and ensure you understand them in order that we can follow the guidelines and keep everyone safe and well.

PRIOR TO TRAINING:
  • Start of Training Sunday 4th October.  
    • Age   7-12: Start Time 15:00-16:30. 
    • Age 13-17: Start Time 16:30-18:00.
  • Basketball England Membership / Renewal:  Every player needs to sign-up or renew their membership with Basketball England in order to be insured. Players without a valid BE membership will not be allowed to take part in any of the clubs activities.  To renew your child's membership, please follow this Membership-Renewal link. New members will need to register and follow this New Member link.  
  • Training Fee Direct Debit Payment: For obvious reasons, cash payment for training sessions will NOT BE ACCEPTED at the door. A £15 monthly direct debit payment will be our new method of payment and this must be setup prior to starting. This is equivalent to £5 per session. Bank details will be provided on request. 
  • All participants must be aware of the COVID-19 Screening Document. (Appendix-3).
  • All participants must read the COVID-19 Risk Information Sheet. (Appendix-4).
WHAT WILL HAPPEN AT MY SESSION:
  • Before Session:
    • If you arrive early at the venue, please wait at the carpark or wait outside under a shelter. Do not enter the sports hall until the coaches arrive to carry out the process below.
    • Arrive ready to play with your basketball, water bottle and any other clothing/footwear required. There will be no access to water or a changing room. Toilets will be available outside the sports hall.
    • You will be asked a few short screening questions about your health and who you have been in contact with. We will then take your temperature with a non-contact infra-red body thermometer.
    • You will be given an instruction to enter the sports hall and be asked to clean your hands and your basketball before entering the playing area & regularly throughout the session.
    • When you enter the playing area, no warm up shooting will be permitted. You must keep 2 meters apart until a coach guides you to your training 'bubble area' and allocated your training space and a sitting area to place your bag and water bottle.
  • Session:
    • Players will be split into teams which will be considered a 'bubble' and will play together as that bubble for the whole session.  
    • Teams will do drills, skills and team base training. Only 3x3 half court is permitted.
    • Parents or guardians may have to be asked to wait outside if the numbers inside the venue (max 30 people) are not able to be sustained for reasonable social distancing reasons.
  • At The End of Session:
    • All participants must leave the venue immediately though a separate exit door at the back of the sports hall. Returning parents must wait outside the exit door at the back of the sports hall to collect their child.  No congregating in the carpark.
    • Coaches will clean all equipment before the start of the 13-17 age group session.
    • The next group must not enter the sports hall before their session starts and should wait outside until asked to do so. The 2 meters social distancing must be adhered to at all times while waiting.
