The following reminders aim to help everyone during the pandemic and are for everyone’s safety. Please read this carefully and make sure you adhere to this.

This information can not attempt to cover all guidance from The FA, Northumberland FA, the leagues, local council and the government. Everyone has a responsibility to make sure they are also familiar with that information and follow all guidance. For FA Guidance check HERE.

Everyone is very welcome at Wideopen Football Club. By sharing these reminders we hope we strengthen the likelihood of keeping everyone safe, keeping football going and keeping our club open.

• If your child or anyone in your household has recognised Covid-19 symptoms or has been in contact with anyone who has tested positive with Covid-19 you should stay at home and under no circumstances travel to the ground. Please inform your coach and follow the national guidelines relating to track and trace.
• Parental consent is required indicating that parents / guardians of all Wideopen players' agree to their child particpating under the FA guidance and the Club's Risk Assessment and guidance.
• Test & Trace: Everyone attending games and training sessions is strongly urged to sign in using the NHS QR Code system posted around the 3G fencing (an online copy can be viewed HERE). If that is not possible, all coaches will have a paper Test and Trace sheet which can be signed, alternatively use the Form below.
• All parents / guardians should continue to follow the social distancing guidelines.
• All coaches to adhere to the latest FA and national guidance when planning and delivering their sessions.
• Our clubhouse is open for access to toilets or to buy food from the kitchen (when open). However, face coverings must be worn while in the building. Numbers at any one time buying food should be limited to observe social distancing.
• Everyone attending is reminded they should regularly sanitise their hands. As a minimum this should be prior to games / training sessions and at the end when leaving. Please bring your own sanitiser although coaches will have this available for players.
• Please advise parents to only arrive for the time specified (15 minutes prior to games). If they arrive early please ask all members of the family to remain in their vehicles until the specified time. 
• Coaches should ensure the site is cleared promptly after any training sessions or games. We all need to try and minimise the numbers of people using the facility at any one time.
• If coaches need to speak to parents or need to de-brief their sessions, please do so away from the ground
• If you have any issues or notice anything you don’t feel is right, please raise this with the member of the Wideopen FC Staff.
• All coaches will have their own first aid kit with them while games / training sessions are taking place.
• Coaches should ensure equipment is cleansed before and after use.
• Footballs should be cleansed before, at half-time and after games / training sessions. A cleansed ball should be available to put into play whenever the ball comes out of play. The ‘out-coming’ ball should then be cleansed ready for the next time.

Please also see the club's Risk Assessment for additional information and guidance.

Thanks for your cooperation.
