Women's and Girls and Juniors starting this week
Posted by Andrew Dale on 22 April 2021
Hi all,
We are starting Women and Girls tomorrow at 6.15pm, Juniors are starting on Friday at 6.15 or 6.00 depending on age group.
Can all participants bring hand sanitiser, their own drinks and their own equipment. Under 7s need not bring bats and balls.
Due to the numbers of juniors on Friday we are staggering starts and asking parents to stay in specific areas, this sounds a little like being corralled but it seemed the best way from the club to avoid breaking national guidelines. As rules change in May we hope to relax these.
When we have finished the sessions we sadly have to ask parents to take their junior players home and leave the site, we don't want to do this but having procedures to socially distance 150 4-15 year olds isn't something we feel we can achieve, again in May we hope that National guidelines will allow us to have all the kids' playing on the outfield and parent enjoying a Burger and Beer at the same time.
The numbers on Thursdays are much lower so these measures are not needed.
5 entrances
• Minis – (6.15 start) - Tennis Courts – to pitch gate in front of clubhouse – Parentzone – In front of clubhouse
• U9s – (6.00 Start) Archway to pitch gate in front of clubhouse - Parent Zone on Bank by Nets
• U11s – (6.15 start) by gate next to carpark park entrance and fence gate in front of bank – Parent zone on Bank by access road
• U13s – (6.00 starts ) 6 bar gate on drive and over style in fence Parent Zone in front of Castle
• U15’s (6.00 start) Tennis Court Entrance and walk around pitch to Flagpoles – Parent Zone in front of Flagpoles
The bar is open on Thursday so we can trial selling drinks before we take on the larger groups on Fridays (150 kids and possibly 150 parents!!) Parents are welcome to bring their own food and drink on Fridays until the bar is open.
Can we also ask that those of you driving to the site only park in the carpark behind the clubhouse or in the paddock, please avoid parking in front of the gates or on the access road.
On Thursdays Women and Girls that are signed up for Fridays may want to consider trying Thursdays girls only sessions. Bring Mum along too!!!
See you later this week
