Your Team Manager will check each family has read and understood this document. All Coaches, Team Managers need to complete a 20 minute free online course before the commencement of training and competition. I would also encourage all parents to do the same. A certificate of completion will be issued and each Coach and Team Manager will submit this to their assigned BIO safety officer. https://www.health.gov.au/resources/apps-and-tools/covid-19-infection-control-training. MEBA has also informed us that Nunawading stadium will be open for training before the Christmas break. The date of opening is still pending.
A training block during the week will be available to Wattle Park Saints teams. Box Hill Aqualink will also be available. More details to come.
