Please also refer to the ‘Return to Football Checklist’ which outlines our minimum requirements and responsibilities both as individuals and as the Club.

Please take note of the requirements carefully, particularly ensuring that they continue respecting social distancing, players having their own drink bottles (no sharing), no oranges or recovery food being shared between players, no hand shaking, no spitting, no huddles, and continuing to use hand sanitiser.

IMPORTANT:

The Club has also designated areas for spectators to view matches from, together with areas only for club officials, coaches and team managers. It is really important that viewing is restricted from these areas and stay in your cars where possible. If we have breaches of numbers of spectators (whether this is from our spectators or the oppositions), the referees are instructed to suspend the match.

Please see the image below for information on pitches and spectator areas on match days (which also applies to training).

Club officials / coaches / TM’s will need to inform the away team of our Club’s policy.

U6 & U7 – Setup on main pitch in front of the Kiosk; parents/spectators must stay outside the fence at all times.


U8 & U9 – Setup on main pitch in front of grandstand; parents/spectators must stay outside the fence at all times.


U10 & U11 – Setup on MiniRoos pitch; parents/spectators must stay outside the fence or on gravel car park at all times.

Our Cafe in the club rooms will be open and it would be great for those playing home to come in and support the Club as I'm sure Vera and Graeme would love to see you come in.

Once again, good luck for the season ahead and stay well.

Thanks
Adelaide Croatia Raiders Committee
