A notice from Hockey Marlborough with important information about the start of the season next month.

Starting the Game
We are excited to announce that the junior games will begin again on Monday 15th June, and run until the end of Term 3. Please see attached for information and team entry sheets. If you have not done so please send these in, or send in a new one if you have updated numbers/teams. Parents need to register their kids online which they can do by clicking on this link and then click on your school or club http://www.hockeymarlborough.org.nz/registrations-1/club-school-list
Contact Tracing.
We have set up a contactless tracing which will require all players, officials and supports/parents to sign in upon entry to the turf. It is a very simple app, which hopefully you will be using more than once around the Marlborough region.
What you will need to do is

• Download the GuestHub iOS or Android app from the store
• Scan the QR code on entry. (please note that if you are the parent of kid/s playing who don’t have their own phone to scan in with you can list all names who are arriving on the one page)
• Enjoy some hockey

Hygiene
We will be conducting a major clean prior to opening the gates to the public. We will also be cleaning throughout the evening when games are being played or training is being undertaken. The changing rooms and showers will be closed, for the short term at least, and the dugs out will have limited space. There will be hand sanitiser around the turf which you are to use on your arrival and the bathrooms will have soap and paper towels. Attached are the Hockey New Zealand guidelines we will be following as we return to the game.
Mass Gatherings
We will be working hard to ensure that the number of players and supporters stay low. We will therefore be asking for only 1 caregiver/supporter per family to be down at the turf, please do not bring the whole family along. Depending on our numbers of players/teams will depend on our draws and how we play. We will aiming to keep games as much the same as possible, however this will depend on team entries.
More information will come as we progress along but for now we are working on getting back up and running.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate in contacting me.
 
Kinds regards,
