WTA JUNIOR MODULES FOR TERM 1 2022 TO RESUME
WIth COVID continuing to wreck havoc on many local, regional and national tournaments we have discussed in thorough our ability to be able to provide Junior Modules for our tamariki. It wasnt a straight forward decision however we will need to make a lot of changes to our structure to allow us to operate within the COVID Protection Framework (CPF) Guidelines.
This term will be different again and we look to implement the following strategies:
- Our modules will be run as “Vaccine Pass” required events.
This means that ALL participants over the age of 12 years and 3 months will need to provide a vaccine pass. This will be done through the sporty online registration process or via the manual registration sheet to be provided everyday.
2. There will be no spectators allowed
This means that we will be able to keep our 100 person limit throughout all of our gathering groups.
3. No Year 1/2 age groups this season
Unfortunately the ages for this group will be too hard to manage within the required guidelines. We are looking into other ways to provide some form of Touch development opportunities for our young ones.
4. Only Swarbrick Primary and Intermediate/High School competitions to be run
This also means that we wont be running the Flagstaff module to enable all out resources to be at the one venue on the Monday.
5. 20 person limit per team
In order to keep our areas below the required 100 person limit, teams will only be allowed a maximum of 20 people per team. This will include your team referee as well. Team members will need to be recorded on the team sheet to be handed in to our volunteers on arrival.
6.Vaccine Pass verification
We are asking for team managers to enter your team members name, DOB and Vaccine Pass expiry date on the team sheet to be handed in each playing day. This sheet will form the basis for contact tracing and verification of vaccine pass requirements (where necessar
7. Limited teams per grade
Due to the need for more spacing we have had to cut down on teams per grade to enable us to meet CPF requirements. Team entries may be accepted on a first in first served basis however we will work with everyone to ensure that it is a fair process and that we can try and cater for as many teams as possible.
