Training is strictly limited to groups from U16s upwards and only for those groups coached by Brian Dowling; Larry Dunne, Martin Luby and Tony Shine.

Coaches will be in contact with individual athletes to arrange and plan training sessions.  Training sessions will be strictly limited to a maximum of 3 athletes in distinct and separate groups per coach.  This will necessarily involve a level of selection in these extraordinary times.  This is to ensure we focus on athletes who may be competing at the limited higher levels of national competition this summer.  Additionally only those athletes living within 5km of the track will be eligible to participate.

Training sessions will be booked in advance to ensure a clear record of attendance (important should contact tracing become an issue in the future).

Coaches will send more detailed instructions to athletes.  This will include key requirements such as athletes bringing hand sanitiser, arriving no early than 5 minutes before a session, observing strict social distancing at all times and all Sports Centre facilities being unavailable.

No athlete should attend training, or use the track facilities, unless this has been explicitly confirmed by their coach who must be in attendance to ensure compliance with all requirements.  This is to ensure that hygiene is tightly maintained at the track, for which each coach is appointed as a Covid-19 officer and has additional responsibilities regarding cleaning of equipment, padlocks, etc.
