3. Quick Reference - Junior Coaches

Before the season:

All players/parents are

• registered in Pitchero
• added to your pitchero team groups
• invited to your Pitchero Training Sessions
• have completed the EH participation form
• have their own equipment (and these are labelled)

You have:

• all your own equipment - balls, cones, bibs, ladders etc
• got volunteers to help with hand sanitiser and registers
• Read the first aid advice - https://www.sja.org.uk/get-advice/first-aid-advice/covid-19-advice-for-first-aiders/
• Read all the Covid Guidelines from the club and make sure your whole team knows them. These are available at https://www.brombeckshockey.com/a/covid19-60020.html
• Sent the guidance to all parents/players

Before the session/planning the session:

• Has your equipment been sanitised? Balls, cones and bibs washed?
• Does your First aid include masks, gloves and sanitiser?
• Have all the players signed the EH participation form (New Joiners have been checked with our Covid Officer?)
• Remind the group of the start and finish times (5 mins off both) - don’t arrive too early.
• Remind the group to self-assess before they leave home
• Make sure your drills don’t have people overly/repeatedly in contact. i.e. 1 on 1 for 30 mins

At the start of a session:

• Follow the one-way route (enter through the spectator gate) when the pitch is clear
• Someone to stand at the entrance with hand sanitiser and make sure people sanitise. (Everyone should have their own - but if not you have to give them some.)
• Put hand sanitiser in front of the Portaloo - make sure the sign is in place

To the Group - ask

• if everyone self-assessed and that they are all ok to play?
• if anyone feels unwell - tell them not to play.

To the Group - tell

• put their kit 2m apart
• that they need to use hand sanitizer before and after using the loo.
• to only touch the balls with their sticks
• to socially distance during breaks in game play / when waiting for a drill
• no spitting
• no sharing of water or food

• Take the register in Pitchero Manager
• Anyone coming along for the first time / not expected? Get them to sign the EH participation form and verbally confirm this to you.
• Ask all players to leave the pitch as soon as possible after the game (de-briefs etc to be outside) so we only have the right number of people on the pitch
• Get everyone to put their equipment on the far side of the pitch away from the spectator area
• Exit the pitch through the double gates

During the session:

• When dealing with first aid - the player comes first. Use mask/gloves. If the child’s parent is there and is willing to help - let them. Stay near to advise.

After the session:

• Send a copy of all participants to covid@brombeckshockey.com and track.trace@englandhockey.co.uk
• Subject line: Attendance Records Submission for [205979] for the following date: dd.mm.yyyy
• Use EH approved Excel sheet available here : Excel Sheet
• If anyone had to leave or failed the self-assessment check - email covid@brombeckshockey.com with the details

Just remember this is a crib sheet not the full guidance. Please make sure you are aware of the full guidance which can be found here https://www.brombeckshockey.com/a/covid19-60020.html
