COVID-19 SAFETY PLAN

ESTA would like to thank everyone for their patience and support as we finalise our Summer competition conditions for the 2020/21 season.

As we all know COVID-19 has forced many changes for volunteer run community based sports and we have worked hard to provide a safe and fun competition for the kids and a compliant format that is manageable for our officials.

Please see below some of the major competition regulations.

1. Timeslots will be 35 minute, touch down turn around. There will be a 10 minute break between games to allow players to leave the park when finished.

2. Each team will be allowed 1 coach and players only – NO SPECTATORS ARE ALLOWED. For teams with Junior Players,  1 parent/carer per child at each game.

3. Please check your field allocation prior to arrival at Queens Park and park as close as possible to your field. Please enter Queens Park and arrive at you field a maximum of 5 minutes before your time slot.

4. Check in using our QR code which will be available at your field. All persons (players, parents/carers, coaches) must check in. Please stay at your field while in attendance, we would like to limit movement around the fields. Please check in for each game you are attending.
