4. Introduced a 15-minute break between classes to allow time to sanitise equipment.
5. Coaches to remain socially distanced from children, unless this compromises their safety.
6. Use only one toilet (disabled toilet at Landford Village Hall and children’s toilet at Romsey Primary) and allow only one child at-a-time to leave the hall to use the toilet to avoid congestion in the corridor.
7. Provided additional space in main hall to enable children to place socks / shoes / coats etc to avoid congestion in a confined space such as the corridor.
8. When and where possible open doors and windows to keep main hall well ventilated.
