Safe training suggestions Ratio – it is advised (but not mandatory) to keep the training groups smaller to properly control the "safe training bubble". The rules on the number of people allowed in a gathering must follow the rules in force at the local level. A SAFE TRAINING BUBBLE IS: • Limited number of participants, ideally, always the same players together • Always the same coach for a determined group of players • Avoid allowing group change for both coaches and players • Groups are fixed from training to training. A coach cannot be in charge of more than one group of players. • Coaches need to think about how they are going to show the educational to their players in order to respect social distancing. 6
Safe training suggestions • The coach plans and hands over his training plan in advance. • Do not arrive at the training facility more than 15 minutes before the scheduled start of training. • Players must arrive at the field already in training gear. • All athletes must leave the facility as soon as possible after the end of the practice. 7
Facility use The sports facilities used to play football are shared by several types of users every day. Associations must take cognizance of and apply the recommendations of owners and managers of facilities. The members of the board of directors of each association, and each coach, must know and apply the operation applicable to the place where the association will resume or hold its activities. Everyone will need to know the important security elements to communicate to players. It is essential to harmonize the messages to communicate together. The owner of the land is responsible for presenting his own plan for the reopening of his facilities. It will be his duty to make it known to you. 8
