Scottish Athletics COVID-19 - Advice and Information

In our current climate it is the club's responsibility to deliver organised sporting activity within the specific guidelines agreed with sportscotland and Scottish Government to ensure we can continue club training as long as we are allowed.

With the help of these guidelines, the committee have to create a safe training environment for all members to feel safe and happy to train in our club during these difficult times.  

Scottish Athletics has a dedicated page on their website covering all aspects of operating in a COVID-19 environment. When there are updates from Scottish Government regarding social distancing rules this is the page that gets updated by Scottish Athletics.

Please click on this link  https://www.scottishathletics.org.uk/clubs/club-support/coronavirus/ and you will see all the information you need.

Can I draw your attention to the following documents to look at which are Framework for athletes and Guidance for athletes

The committee understand that members get a variety of benefits being involved with our club from physical and mental health improvement and socialising. We can still get all these benefits but we need to social distance more before, during and after training. Be considerate to your fellow members and possibly good friends as ultimately we don't know what is going on in people's life. Work pressure, family problems, mental health issues, unemployment, financial issues and the list could go on.

All this can make people fragile, sensitive and react to situations sometimes not in the right way.

So be considerate and supportive but from a social distance point of view.

On  behalf of the committee
