Our guidance is primarily intended for owners and operators of sports facilities, but it can be adapted to support other planning-based work being undertaken by sports, clubs and community organisations as they plan and prepare for when sport can resume. It is applicable to indoor and outdoor sport and can be either used in whole or in part depending on individual circumstances.
The following information provides a summary of the key measures and changes associated to the management and operation of sports facilities, as a result of all remaining local authorities moving to Level 0 on July 19 2021. These key principles should continue to be read in conjunction with existing guidance.
