Juniors back on court

2 Dec

Written By Volleyball England Foundation

Following the end of Lockdown No 2 and the Government Guidance around what we can and can’t do in relation to sport , it’s great to see juniors back on court.

Volleyball England have provided guidance for clubs across all 3 Tiers.

The Government have made the decision that :-

Sport for the purpose of education is also exempt. This means that school sport such as PE, and curriculum-related sport for students in further and higher education (e.g. a student studying a sport course being able to practice), are exempt from legal gathering limits. However, this does not cover extra-curricular sport (such as playing for a college team) so these activities can only take place within the guidance set out above.

Outside school the Government have decided that all supervised activity for children is exempt from legal gathering limits, and can happen in any number. This includes organised team sports and all supervised sport and physical activity for under-18s.

This includes young people who were 17 at the start of the academic year, even if they turn 18 during the remainder of that year. This applies to young people who were under 18 on 31 August 2020, even if they turn 18 during the remainder of the academic year.

Let’s get back on court.

Who is ready to get back?

Newcastle Staffs VC intend to restart on Friday 4th with our normal junior sessions..
