COVID – 19 RETURN TO SPORT GUIDELINES


Overview Basketball Queensland (BQ) in consultation with Basketball Australis (BA) and Sport Aus (SA) circulated the BQ Return to Sport Guidelines. These guidelines are developed with the primary intention of restricting the number of people within stadiums at any one time to reduce the chances of person-to-person transmission of COVID-19. The guidelines differ according to the number of courts per stadium. They should be viewed as the minimum requirements for a return to sport and, it should be noted that, BQ encourages all members to minimise attendance of nonparticipating persons where possible. The principles of these Guidelines are:

1. Participant health and safety 2. Compliance with Government COVID-19 restrictions 3. Alignment with AIS Guidelines 4. Consistency with the Rules of Basketball

Levels of Reactivation BQ have established 4 reactivation levels specific to the return of individual basketball activities. The levels are: QLD GOVT BQ STAGE 1 RED-1 No Group Activities STAGE 1 Activities or gathering of a maximum of 10 people per court STAGE 2 STAGE 2 Activities or gathering of a maximum of 20 people per court on a

standalone court and a maximum of 12 people on each side by side court.

STAGE 3 STAGE 3 Activities or gathering of a maximum of 100 people per court

Timing of Reactivation (subject to change) We have received the QLD GOVT – ROADMAP, this document advises that the easing of restrictions will occur as follows: STAGE DATE SDBAL START DATE STAGE 1 15 MAY 2020 15 MAY 2020 STAGE 2 1 JUNE 2020 4 JUNE 2020 STAGE 3 10 JULY 2020 13 JULY 2020

Categories of Basketball Activity BQ have effectively broken all basketball activities into 3 areas. Each area has specific guidelines relating to the activity. This includes number of people per court, spectator access, cleaning requirements and other requirements. The areas are;

1. COMPETITION Including domestic, recreational, schools and Representative (Rep) competitions played, both indoor and outdoor.

2. TRAINING Including training for domestic and Representative team, both indoor and outdoor.

3. DEVELOPMENT Including Aussie Hoops, Junior Development Programs and Camps.

5. External Users Clubs Several our domestic clubs hire courts for their team trainings. As we build

towards the commencement of a new season we will engage clubs to determine their requirements.

Bullets The Bullets are looking for a suitable venue to run their development

programs. This would be early morning and afternoon. The court hire would be a temporary arrangement until the Nissan Arena reopens. We are also in discussions with the Bullets about holding a camp in the June / July school holidays.

Ready Steady Go Kids RSGK would recommence activity likely from term 3 however they may look

to commence earlier. Generally, the hours they operate are, M, T, Th, Fr from 9:30am -noon. They have indicated they would be interested in Saturday mornings also. This would be until we recommence competitions.

Private Coaches There are several private coaches that utilise the facility. They generally

coach in the mornings however they would access the facility in the afternoons if it were available. A number of these agreements are in place and include free access based on player / coach contracts.

Sporting Wheelies Sporting Wheelies (SW) have a regular booking on a Wednesday night. SW

have been contacted to determine if / when they would like to recommence activity. It is assumed that most of the wheelchair basketball participants would be high risk. As a result, SW would need to have additional safeguards in place.

a. Requirements of external users

i. Induction Process All external users will need to be formally inducted in order to deliver programs within the facility. This will mean the user have explicit directions and clear accountabilities around the restrictions that are in place.

ii. COVID-19 Management plan Users will be required to submit their own Covid-19 Management Plan. This plan needs to highlight the following;

• The capture of participant personal details.

• The tracking and retention of participant attendance.

• How activities will be monitored to reflect the restrictions in place at each level.

• A clear statement about the organisations commitment to Health and Safety with a clear reference to Covid-19.
