LOCAL football and netball matches will have crowd numbers capped at 1,000 under newly announced restrictions for community football.
According to AFL Victoria’s ‘Return to Training and Games Protocols’ document, updated this month, training and games can resume for all participants, provided:
1. It is conducted outdoors.
2. A patron cap of 1000
3. Clubs maintain records of those attending their venue
5. Spectators follow relevant gathering rules
The rules come more than one month prior to the Easter round 1 opening of the Goulburn Valley League fixture, which sees action kick off on Friday, April 2. Given the unpredictability of the spread of the virus and subsequent restrictions, these guidelines could very well change several times before then.
