Limited spectators now allowed

Published Tue 01 Sep 2020

The guidelines regarding spectators have now changed to allow for two spectators per player at any match.  All spectators must record their attendance online with Hockey ACT via the Spectator Attendance Register. QR Codes/venue links will be readily available for scanning around all Hockey ACT venues and attendance must be completed within 10 minutes of entry.

Coaches, managers, tech bench officials and umpires are not required to register their attendance at games.

Hockey ACT have also issued the following guidelines for spectators:

  • No unaccompanied minors may enter as spectators. They must have a parent/guardian present with them at all times whilst within the facilities.
  • Spectators (excluding Parents/Guardians of junior participants) may only be present at a Hockey ACT Facility for the duration of the game. They may enter no more than 10 mins prior to the game, and must be exiting the facility within 10 minutes of the game finishing.
  • If the TWO (2) spectators live in the same residence they only need to complete the online Spectator Attendance Register once. If they do not share a residence, each spectator must complete the Spectator Attendance Register.
  • Major walkways and thoroughfares must be kept clear at all times. It is recommended spectators utilise grandstand/seating areas when inside the facility. Spectators must be seated where possible.
  • All Spectators must exercise appropriate social distancing at all times whilst within Hockey ACT facilities. ACT Government social distancing and hygiene practices must be observed, including any guidelines that may be specific to the venue.
  • Please be advised that hand sanitiser is the responsibility of the individual, and will be a requirement that spectators bring their own hand sanitiser when attending Hockey ACT facilities. (This is to avoid multiple handling of the same hand sanitiser.)
  • Spectators (other than Parents/guardians of junior participants) are not permitted in team gathering points. No spectator is to enter the field of play.
