Return to Non-Contact Rugby – ROADMAP INFO-GRAPHIC (update 12/06/20)

Covid Operation Info-graphic WHO

Non Contact Sports (Lockdown)- What’s the situation? Your questions answered right here.

What’s the difference in National Lock-down and localised restrictions?

The government is trying to pin point the most effected areas, places and spaces with most growing concern. In the best way possible the the country must survive financially along with our wellbeing. Sometimes we get different signals. Due to the imminent second wave, as of Thursday November 5th 2020 the government decided to nationalise lock-down in England until December 2nd. In this way it addresses the worry among each of the nations leaders and coordinate the suppression of the second wave of corona virus. In a way its saying we are all in this together.

What does this mean for organised sport?

Unfortunately, for now all team sports have been suspended. This means that no competitive or formal activities including football and rugby and non-contact rugby can be undertaken until at least Wednesday 2 December.

Does this recent lock-down measures include practice sessions?

Yes, certainly does. Unfortunately we have to take all precautions to prevent the spread of corona virus so in all instances we must stop all activities including groups of 3 or more. While group sessions are banned, a max of 2 players (or one player and coach) can participate in socially distanced (2 meters), individual session in a public space, but not a garden, without sharing equipment. Advisable to read up on the latest government announcements and social distancing rules.

So, I maybe desperate to get out and play, what are the consequences?

Under the rules people have been told to stay at home and non-essential shops, pubs and gyms ordered to close.Households are also banned from mixing indoors or in private gardens, unless in a support bubble. Currently there is a £200 fine for each breach which doubles on every offence up to a maximum of £6,400. And organisers of large gatherings face a £10,000 fine.

What can I do to stay fit?

1. Follow a routine. Bedtime /eating at reasonable hours.

2. Eat well. Nutritious meals should be the order of the day.

3. Keep hydrated. Drink plenty of fluids especially water.

4. Ventilate your work and living space. During the winter months most people have the heating on but it’s advised to make sure the room(s) are ventilated.

5. Avoid excess. Try to use your time wisely and avoid temptations(bad eating / drinking habits) maybe do some simple exercises to take the edge off.

6. Spend time outside. Prepare for the outdoors. Wrap up well during a walk or cycle, make it enjoyable by establishing a nice route surrounded by nature if possible. Bring along a flask of coffee or comforting beverage like hot chocolate!!!

7. Maintain relationships. Play regularly within your household adhering to government guidelines (social distancing rules). Maybe set aside time to chat online sign up for the free platform Zoom to stay in touch with family and friends. It’s not too difficult to join in some online games.

8. Be kind. Watch out for your neighbors and respect the front line workers who are taking care of us.

FAQ – TAG LEAGUE – #COVIDOperation

I am vulnerable and have been shielding – should I come?

We’re recommending that anyone who has been shielding or feels vulnerable does not attend events unless they feel totally confident that it will not put their health at risk. This applies to spectators, staff, players and volunteers.

What if I start feeling ill at the EVENT?

If you start experiencing symptoms at an event or feel your condition is deteriorating, please notify a staff member and ready your self to go home immediately.(self isolate is advised if symptoms of coronavirus persist)

Is social distancing still in place?

Yes, certainly it is. Unfortunately we have to take all precautions to prevent the spread of coronavirus so in all instances we must distance ourselves while at pitch side our venue. Advisable to read up on the latest government announcements and social distancing rules.

What if I can’t get there by walking or cycling?

You can take the train, bus or Uber. You can also drive to Blackheath, although parking may be limited, we can provide a parking area for you, so reach out if necessary. Cycling is always encouraged but always plan ahead.

Why do I have to register? I can usually just turn up.

We are limiting audience capacities at every venue for safety reasons. Registering ensures that you will be able to visit or participate, otherwise we will have to turn people away.

If I’ve registered, why do I need to bring it with me?

We will invigilating all participants joining including marking attendance and in some cases scanning the tickets at entry points. Tickets will have QR codes on – you can present them on a smartphone, no need to print them off. This means that staff and security can ensure capacities are controlled safely and efficiently, and those who have purchased tickets will be guaranteed play.

Do I need experience to play?

Tag rugby is a non contact sport. The general atmosphere is welcoming and we play for fun, however there is a competitive streak in us all as it’s a team sport so it is helpful to read up on the rules of play. We will endeavour to guide you into the field of play as safely as possible.

What do I need to bring with me?

Generally with this sport you’ll be playing on a 3G (Astro) simulated green pitch or grass. It is advised to wear grip shoes or most ideally moulded boots. Tag shorts (Velcro) are a necessity. Water is always a good idea to hydrate. Due to covid we don’t recommend bringing any equipment like balls to practice with. Sharing items is totally prohibited.
