The latest update from Sport Cheer UK regarding Competiton in the UK

” Following the government’s update this afternoon, please find SportCheer England’s updated statement below, regarding COVID-19 (Coronavirus).

They understand that you may be concerned about the risk of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) and the potential impact on training, UK competitions. We hope that the following information will be helpful to you and encourage you to share it with members of your program.

Training

Currently, in England, there is no mandate for schools and colleges to close, therefore it is assumed most other daily activities such as Cheerleading teams and classes will continue as usual. With this in mind, we recommend you undertake a specific Risk Assessment for your gym and teams, including:

  • Regularly sanitizing all equipment, surfaces, toilet facilities, etc
  • Requesting any athletes who display any symptoms or who are ill do not attend
  • Action plan in place for any athlete or coach who presents to you with the symptoms (including identifying somewhere to isolate them until medical assistance can be reached)
  • Parent drop off and pick up at the door to reduce risk
  • No sharing of water bottles, food, props, etc
  • Regular hand washing

Competitions in England

Whilst the UK has now been moved from Containment to Delay phase, today’s government announcement stated that they do not believe the risk to individuals is increased at sporting events or other mass gatherings, and are currently not imposing a ban on events of any size in England. At this time, the event providers we have spoken to intend to go ahead as planned with competitions and are being guided by government advice. For information regarding a particular competition you are attending, please visit the EP’s website and/or social media where you will find specific updates relating to their events.”
