There are however some strict criteria for clubs, coaches and parents.

Parents specific info

Pre Match
DO NOT ATTEND match activity if you or anyone from your household should be isolating based on Scottish Government guidelines.
• More specifically in a match context we ask that you don’t gather to spectate.

• Parents/carers who do need to supervise their children should abide by Scottish
Government physical distancing guidance at ALL times.

• Groups of parents from different households should not congregate before, during or after matches.

• Talk to your child about returning to matches, helping them understand the measures taken to keep them safe.

• Remind your child it is important they focus on having fun. Don’t push too hard and risk injury.

• Ensure your child washes their hands thoroughly before matches and arrives ready to play, wearing clean kit.

• Ensure both your child and his/her coach has your contact telephone number.

• Your child should bring their own water bottle with their name clearly visible.

• Please give your child’s coach plenty notice as to whether your child will attend or be absent from any session/match.

• To limit over-crowding, please bring your child to the match day session on your own, following your club’s advice.

• Only bring your child to the football club for pre-arranged matches.

During Games
• Always follow club guidance from coaches, the COVID co-ordinator / Officer or
committee members.

• Parents/carers will be encouraged not to spectate during matches in order to ensure
physical distancing measures for adults are maintained. This applies before, during
and after the matches.

• Your club should provide clear guidance regards drop off and pick up points.

• If you envisage your child may require support during a match day session (e.g. help
accessing a toilet), it is permitted to have one parent/carer present.

• This person must however observe the applicable protocol, e.g. remain in the car or
close to the facility whilst maintaining physical distance from others.

• First aid protocols can be found on the Scottish FA Return To Football Hub

• Please note team first aiders can now administer full first aid.

Post Match
• Immediately after matches, a parent/carer should collect their child as
promptly as possible.

• Ensure you and your child’s hands are sanitized immediately after match
activity.

• Inform the club immediately should your child start to show symptoms of
COVID.

• Remind and manage your child, regardless of age, to maintain a 2 metre
physical distance from everyone at ALL times before and after their
organised match day sessions whilst at the facility.
