2. Hand washing remains one of the best methods for preventing transmission of infection. Wherever possible, everyone should be washing their hands before and after training sessions, matches and whenever first aid is administered.

3. No-one who has symptoms of illness is to attend training or matches

4. No-one who has been in contact with anyone who has shown symptoms of illness is to attend training or matches

5. If anyone in a players’ household has been told to self-isolate then that player is not to attend training or matches

6. Parents and/or players may not currently wish to take part in training or matches for a variety of reasons – this will not disadvantage their position in the team in the longer term. Lockdown and the fear of contracting an infectious disease has had a wide variety of impacts on individuals and their domestic and social circumstances and we will not add complication to that. Instead we encourage a return when the parent/player feels ready to do so.

7. Before every session or match all players must self-assess using https://bit.ly/ccyfccovid

8. Team officials will keep an attendance register either via the Pitchero Manager app or using the attendance form provided

9. In addition to self-assessment, players trying out must provide details before attending their first session by registering at https://bit.ly/ccyfctr

10. Players must bring their own hand sanitiser and use it when directed to do so by coaches/managers – before and after each session and when there is a break.

11. Goalkeepers must bring disinfectant spray for their gloves and use it when directed to do so by coaches/managers – before and after each session and when there is a break.

12. When not directly engaged in competitive training or match play, players must continue to practice social distancing (e.g. on touchline, during breaks, before and after sessions)

13. Spectators must be in groups of six or less and follow social distancing as per government guidelines

14. Spectators must follow any instructions given to them by club officials

15. Player to player contact is permitted in the context of training and match play, but at all other times normal social distancing restrictions apply. This includes before and after sessions, and during sessions when not specifically engaged in contact scenarios

16. Although contact is permitted it should be minimised. Players will be given guidance on what is and is not allowed, and you will see the game look slightly different as a result. This will be particularly true for corner kicks, free kicks and close marking situations.

17. The following are not permitted
a. Goal celebrations
b. Huddles
c. Shaking of hands
d. Sharing of water bottles
e. Sharing of equipment (except for footballs in contact scenarios)
f. Spitting or mouth rinsing
g. Shouting

18. Spectators should avoid shouting as it increases the risk of transmission of infection in close proximity situations

19. Players must wash their kit and clean and disinfect their boots after every session. Players must not attend training or matches with dirty kit or boots.

20. First aid will still be administered where necessary.

Above all, we must all encourage our players and support our team officials in maintaining social distancing. It is a sign of respect for others that we acknowledge that they may have fears or concerns that are not immediately apparent to us. It will feel odd and uncomfortable but at present it is the only way in which we can enjoy football.
