We are back to physical training

We are able return to indoor training at Hutton Moor from this Friday, 11th Sept 2020.
You will have seen that the government has applied a “rule of 6” for gatherings, but there are exceptions such as education, workspaces and organized team sports, we have been told by the British Tae Kwon Do Council that we have procedures in place that allow us to meet to train as an organized team sport.

I know that it is short notice and it is not our usual training night, this is a temporary slot that we have been offered and we will be going back to Wednesdays as soon as possible.
I appreciate that not everyone is ready to return to indoor classes, so for those who want to we will be continuing with virtual classes for the foreseeable future.

For those of you who have asked to return to indoor training there will be a big difference in the way we train, obviously there will be no sparring, partner work everything you will be doing in class will be as a solo activity spaced at 3 meters part from each other.

We will be using three of the badminton courts in the main sports hall, this gives us 50% more room and Hutton Moor has limited the number of people who can attend. The area has been marked up with 3-meter distanced apart spaces to exceed current distancing guidelines.

There will be a process we ALL must follow when attending a class.

• Everyone is to be temperature tested before entering the class.
• There will be anti-bacterial gel provided at the entrance to the venue.
• Anyone feeling unwell, especially if displaying cold or flu symptoms is not to come to class.
• Anyone attending a class must arrive in their Dobok ready to train.
• Students are asked to bring a yoga mat or beach towel in a plastic bag to use for stretching/floor exercises.
• Students can bring a drink in a sports bottle.
• Students are allowed to wear non-marking sports shoes in class.
• Students are advised to use the toilet at home before coming to class.
• No parents or spectators are allowed in the Dojang.
• Everyone is to confirm that their contact details held by the club are up to date.
• Students must ensure that their TAGB/BTC Licence is up to date.
• We will set start and finish times allowing for an adequate swap over period between classes to allow one group to exit before allowing in the next group.

After the first session I will have a better understanding of the logistics and we may be able to slightly change the timings

As you can see parents are not allowed in the training hall, when you drop your child off please wait for a few minutes to allow them into the class before leaving Hutton Moor, in the unlikely event they fail the temperature test.
We will start back at the Campus on Monday 5th October, with revised timings, I will send you all more information as we get closer to the start date.
