Footy's greatest COVID challenge: the grassroots game

The greatest, or gravest, challenge confronting the game of Australian football in this pandemic isn't the loss of coaches and staff, the pay cuts, the reduction in television dollars and sponsors, or the debt clubs will ratchet up.

www.theage.com.au

the most momentous challenge is the one that faces the code, rather than the AFL: it is the task of getting thousands of local community players and volunteers, from Broome to Beaumaris, on the park for competitive matches.

In 2020, the person who plays the position of COVID safety officer will be more essential to your team's function than the ruckman, best midfielder or coach. The local team, in any competition, cannot train and play without a CSO. Fitzroy president Joan Eddy believes the role of CSO involves such commitment that her club plans to share it between six or more people. The only formal qualification will be completion of AFL Victoria online training, but he or she will need a willingness to enforce COVID-19 protocols and a commensurate thick hide.

Anyone here hoping to to be a COVIDSafeT Moderator in their football code at their club?

I'm half expecting to be asked to be one.
Will have to consider it very carefully before accepting.
But if I am, what goes on the pitch, stays on the pitch.
And you won't be reading about it in here.

I'll 2nd that.

 

[burge13]

The illogical rules wouldnt be followed to closely with me 'enforcing' them. I wonder if covid safety officers will exist next season, or is it just political bullshit to make policy makers feel big...

Are you going to shower at home before and after every training session or match?

 

[burge13]

Dont think our showers have worked for 5 years. Wont be doing anything different to previous seasons in that regard

Shower before at home? Do people shower at the club before games/training?

 

[BFew]

Social distancing won't be a problem on your team then

Call for 100 person dine-in limit to bring back jobs

Restaurants, pubs and cafes say they must be allowed more dine-in patrons and the “arbitrary” 4sqm rule has to be abolished if the sector is to make a dent in the wave of unemployment gripping WA.

What do all you Sandgropers (including honorary ones) think of the AHA's pleas?

The inevitable complaining has started earlier than I thought

Sports clubs restart but some struggle to survive

As community sports clubs stutter back to life, questions about when and how they will be allowed to play are only some of their worries.

Maybe “rock, paper, scissor”, at AFL bounce downs and throw ins too, so that the umpires do not have to touch the ball during the game, or just heads and tails if that is too complicated for some.

AFLX was ahead of it's time

Not showering in unsanitary s**t holes in groups of 10+ should be the easiest thing to give up in this whole covid change haha

Actually, I was referring to the FNSW return to training directive, in line with the Nationwide phased AIS guidelines for return to training for all ball sports requirement, that all players from young to old must shower AT HOME (home of the player - not home ground of the club/team),
before going each training session and after each training session. Training/club ground shower and change room facilities are to be closed for now in the initial return to training

That hasnt been brought up that we have to shower before coming to training tbh. Not sure how that would be policed but our manager ran through our specific rules and nothing of the sort was mentioned

SA have probably skipped that stage of the phased AIS guidelines because of the lower than NSW rates of infection.
Either that or the Sports bodies and/or State Government took one look at that requirement, thought WTF! and quietly ignored it.

Very bizarre guideline really. Again stinks of idiots an office trying to feel powerful pushing nonsense rules out

 

[Richard Cranium]

Strong chance that most covid safety people will be c-graders desperate for a bit of power and 'respect' from the better players.

On an unrelated note, I will be nominating myself for the role at my club.

 

[SportsCentre]

If human nature runs true to form, any regulations will be followed for about 2 weeks by the masses and then dwindle back into normality

 

[BFew]

One of our local community (all ages) Soccer clubs, in their last Friday return to training update, has publicly posted on their website that

Team officials need to keep an attendance record of players involved in training seasons. They can either use the FNSW template or take photos of the training session. These attendance records are essential as they will be used if there is a need to undertake contact tracing.

Seems far more sensible than an attendance sheet for contact tracing.

Fair enough too. None of the restrictions make sense and people won't follow dumb restrictions. And as I said, fair enough as well.

Good news this morning,
From 1 June, in Victoria,
beauty therapy, tanning, waxing, nail salons, spas, tattoo parlours and massage parlours may reopen with up to 20 patrons.

Might be a lot of Victorians not turning up for work on Monday week.
Is it even physically possible to do all the above in one day?

All we got in NSW this morning was to be able to go to the Zoo, Reptile Parks and Aquariums from 1 June.
Hard to decide which to go to first.

By reptile Park do they mean Parliament ?

Or they have no idea of the world outside of thier office.

 

[Brad Goodman]

Looks like I could be back in the office sooner rather than later then. Oh well, it was good while it lasted.

Piss off, a shower beer with the lads after a filthy muddy game is probably the best part of a winters Saturday arvo. You probably showered in your footy gear and only if they were sectioned off with the doors closed. Or you didn't at all

Those change rooms that just had the one single shower room shared by both teams were weird though. Communal nudity with blokes you punched on with earlier.
