• No competitive Sport until Jan 2021

  Thu 17 Sep 2020 HB

   

  In Sheffield, competitive school sport will not be taking place before January 2021. AfPE guidance currently states, it’s position at the current time, is that school fixtures should be avoided, as this will involve contact across schools, and increase the opportunities for virus transmission. AfPE go onto say that community activities are different because parents/carers choose to let their children take part. Trials for Sheffield representation will be taking place in a Covid safe environment but no fixtures are currently planned to go ahead.

   

  The Sheffield School Games Organisers, School Sports Partnerships and the Sheffield Federation of School Sport will be aiming to restart competitive opportunities after Christmas.
