Update on Covid (23rd August)

Since England Hockey have announced we are going into Step 4 of the Return to Play protocol, The Club should let you know where we are at with making the necessary and required adjustments to how we function.  

The club has: 

• Set up a dedicated Return to Play Committee 
• Completed and are constantly reviewing our new COVID-19 specific Risk Assessment - in collaboration with Moulton College.  
• Making changes to the way we train 
• Making changes to the way we play fixtures 
  
  The Return to Play committee has been setting up trial training sessions and fixtures (by invite only) to ensure we have a robust risk assessment and that it meets England hockeys guildlines.  
  
  There are also new procedures that we will have to follow - Your respective captains/coaches will let you know soon.  
  
  This is of course an ongoing scenario which could change at any time and we need to be prepared for all cases - especially in the case of a local lockdown in Northampton.  

  We are targeting first training sessions and friendlies at the beginning of september

   

  Best,
