Hertfordshire Cricket

Hertfordshire Cricket want to ensure all children can continue to Play, Learn and Develop through cricket, even at these unprecedented and most challenging of times. We believe cricket has the power to develop young people, despite the change to our 'normality' and we want to equip all schools and coaches with the tools to make this happen.

• Schools must have a detailed and appropriate Covid-19 risk assessment in order for the lesson to take place. This will include regular sanitisation, social distancing and wellness checks of the pupils.
• All Coaches will carry out a personal Covid-19 symptom check prior to all activity and will not arrive at the school if any symptoms are being displayed.
• 'Play' and 'Compete' lessons have been designed to take place in outdoor spaces with external coaches are present. Indoor delivery is at the school's discretion and only if safe to do so for coach and participants and agreed prior to commencement.
• Schools must provide and clean all kit. Basic kit required, but this can be adapted based on what is available on site. Schools to use their own balls/tennis balls for the sessions.
• The coach will only utilise their own personal kit for demonstration purposes; Kit will be thoroughly cleaned by the coach before and after any lesson. All coaches will be supplied by HCL with full Sanitisation equipment (hand gel, face masks, gloves, antibacterial wipes).
• A simple & clear brief will be given to children at the start of the lesson to ensure safety and to avoid any situations which may compromise social distancing measures which the school has taken.
• All coaches will follow official Government Guidelines, ECB Guidelines and Individual School Policies at the time of delivery.
