Hi All

Please see below the latest update from the AFL for 2020.
The season is getting closer to resuming so get in some training & get those fitness levels up.

“Dear Club President,

We hope this finds you, your family and your club well during this challenging time.

The purpose of this email is to:

Provide an update on return to training and play;
Clarify current training restrictions for all football clubs in NSW; and
Invite you to participate in an online meeting where we will share further details on our return to play roadmap and answer any questions you may have.

Return to Play

See attached COVID-19 Update from our Acting CEO, Tiffany Robertson, which outlines our work with the State and Territory Governments to understand the revised Public Health Orders and impacts on community sport.

We have also completed significant scenario planning around return to play dates for each league ranging from mid June to mid August. Pleasingly all scenarios commencing within this window provide clubs an opportunity to compete in a traditional premiership season, highlighted by the chance to play each opponent at least once in the minor rounds and an exciting finals series. We are also making good progress and collaboratively working with our fellow winter and summer State Sporting Organisations as it relates to a revised 2020 winter season. We will provide further updates on start dates as this information becomes available.

Current training restrictions

The NSW Public Health order signed on the 30th of March 2020, remains in force and prohibits exercise in groups of greater than two. Organised club activities are not currently permitted in both NSW and the ACT, and this includes club training in groups of up-to 10 people and access to sporting grounds."

Stay tuned for further updates as the come.
