Junior Grand Final time, but not as we know it!
Excitement is building in the lead-in to Sunday’s Grand Finals in the AFL North Coast Junior Competition.
As with most things in the 2020 season, the Grand Finals will have a slightly different look and feel to them to ensure that we continue to comply with the requirements of NSW Health in relation to the COVID pandemic. This will include:
- Encouraging people to adhere to the state government’s recommended principles of “Get in, Play, Get out”, and one parent/guardian per player
- Grand Finals to be ticketed events to enable AFL North Coast to keep a comprehensive register of players, spectators, and officials inside the venue. Ticket are available from EventBrite, prices range from $0 to $20 with all proceeds being a donation to offset the cost of hiring the venue.
- All Grand Finals to be live streamed so no-one misses out on the action! Links to the streaming will be on the AFL North Coast Facebook page later in the week.
- Limited presentations and team photos to control the amount of person to person contact and maintain appropriate social distancing.
- COVID Safety Marshalls roaming the crowd to help make sure we adhere to the social distancing rules.
By all of us working together and doing the right thing on Grand Final day, we’ll go a long way to ensuring that there are no extra restrictions placed upon our sport in the 2021 season.
A preview of Sunday’s matches will appear online on Thursday.
See you on Grand Final day!
