In order to be able to deliver events under the current NSW Government COVID-19 restrictions, the following protocols will be followed with regards to our Interclub Competitions this season.
-
There will be a maximum of 400 unique entries (i.e. 400 total athletes) that will be permitted to each Interclub Competition. If you are registering for an Interclub event, we ask that you are 100% committed to participating at the event you register for
-
65 Spots will be available for registered coaches and club administrators to attend each event (upon pre-registering via a form provided before each competition), with the remaining spots being occupied by NSW Officials, Club Volunteers and Athletics NSW Staff at each Interclub Competition.
-
Only Athletes, pre-registered accredited coaches, volunteers, NSW Officials, and Athletics NSW staff will be allowed to attend the event. Unfortunately, at this stage with the current restrictions, no spectators will be able to attend Interclub Competitions.
-
Carers for Para Athletes will be permitted, upon pre-registering themselves on the form provided before each competition
-
Athletics NSW will endeavour to provide the safest possible environment for all participants at event single event that is delivered throughout Summer Season 2020/21
We understand these protocols are not ideal, especially for those younger age groups however unfortunately under the current restrictions this is the path we are forced down on to allow more then 200 athletes compete.
If you are planning on attending Nepean Interclub, included in the registerstration it will ask if you would like to be a point of contact for your athletes/ parents. We would greatly appreciate clubs to set up an area with banners or signage to create a spot for you athletes to find you to answer questions or help assist those younger athletes who's first time competing this weekend.
Bib Collection and Athlete check in will be done outside the gates of the venue so the younger athletes won't have to wait in lines and sign in without their parents. Once they have checked in they are more than welcome to warm up with their parents outside the gates of the venue and only enter the venue to compete. Parents do not have to simply drop and run, they are welcome to stay with their child in the precinct, they just cannot access through the gates to the track.
If you wish to attend Nepean Interclub- please register before 10:00am Thursday 15th October (or before capacity limits are reached): Register Now
We thankyou for your understanding of these necessary protocols to allow as many athletes as possible compete in Track and Field this season.
Kind Regards,
Athletics NSW
