e.g. team sport

Contact sport – is an activity, particularly a team activity, where you are coming into close contact to others as part of competing or taking part in that activity – for example, physical contact sports like rugby and wrestling, sport where there is close contact like football, squash, basketball, hockey, netball or a rowing crew (in which case also refer to guidance for Water-based Activities below).

Non-contact sports – are activities in which you can comfortably avoid coming closer than 2 metres to others as part of participating in that activity – for example, running, cycling, golf or bowls.

Alert Level 3

• No gathering for sport with people outside your bubble.
• You can travel for sport within your region.
• Maintain physical distancing (2 metres) with people outside your bubble.
• Activities must remain within your current abilities and don’t pick up new activities.
• Group activities with anyone outside your bubble are not allowed.
• Lower-risk activities only: care must be taken not to be injured and require medical care.
• No contact activity or sharing equipment or balls with people outside your bubble.

Scenarios at Level 3

You can train at your home or outside with bubble members only. For example, going for a run or weight training.

Do not share equipment outside your bubble. For example, you cannot play frisbee or kick a rugby ball with people outside of your bubble.

Do not use things like playground equipment or benches in public spaces for your training.

If you’re exercising outdoors, maintain physical distancing from those outside your bubble (2 metres).

Try to avoid places with a large number of people – and do not arrange to meet anyone.

You can travel within your region to get to a destination for recreation (for example, going to a particular park or trail). Check in advance whether the place you’re going to is open – not all areas will be open.

Participate in low-risk activities only: care must be taken not to be injured and require medical care.

For outdoor sports where 2 metres physical distancing is possible e.g. golf, tennis, bowls etc:

• Public facilities will be closed. Private facilities (e.g. clubhouses, toilets, showers) cannot open except for use by workers (with appropriate public health measures in place).
• A COVID-19 safety plan must be in place, including risk controls for any staff that may be on site (e.g. grounds person).
• Contact tracing measures must be in place.
• Common touch points must be minimised. It is good practice for the facility owner to sanitise all surfaces (e.g. gates, flags, holes, nets etc) after each use. Users should sanitise their hands after touching them.
• Don’t share food or drink, and water fountains should not be used.
• Don’t share equipment (e.g. clubs, balls, towels, water bottles etc).
• You can only play with those in your bubble. Do not arrange to meet anyone else to play.
• You must keep physical distancing of 2 metres from anyone outside of your bubble.
• There can be no congregating. You must leave as soon as you have completed your recreation activity.
