Although Raymond Terrace is no longer in ZPL, but just for the information: The club pulled out all together from 2020 season. This includes miniroos all the way to all age, and ZL2.

Ive heard rumours that there around another 10 clubs doing the same thing. A couple of ZPL clubs in that list
The requirements put in place by council and federations make it really hard. Things like training restrictions,no canteen and change rooms,constant cleaning of toilets, limit on parents, the list goes on.
There isnt even a locked in start date or finish so unsure how many rounds there even is. NSW health have not even agreed to NnSW footballs return to football plan.
Alot of clubs would struggle to get help to make sure they meet requirements which would leave them facing liability if someone was to get sick.
How many clubs share fields with cricket?. The planned season ends mid October which is pretty close to cricket season I think
I've heard Jesmond pulled out all their teams (I know they don't have a Zone team) because apparently they need a Covid Duty Officer to ensure social distancing and that this has to be the same person at every game on every day it can't be different people. No one was willing to give up every Friday night and the entire weekend to do it so they have pulled the plug.
Not sure if anyone can confirm if that is a requirement and if so if it has to be the same person for every game all weekend for the season?
That's the other thing and the cricket associations have been telling councils they will not budge and start later or have shorter seasons. Not sure why council can't tell them to **** off and cricket get more sway than a sport that has more participants and users of their fields (so pay more).Quote:

That’s correct according to the guidelines regarding the Covid Duty Officer plus having club the appropriate measures applied. All these regulations are a massive impost on Community/Grassroots clubs.
In relation to cricket our club has been told the cricket will delay the start to late October if necessary.
After last nights meeting has there been any movement from any other clubs pulling the pin
Hi rawr,
If this is the case I think the rules have been misinterpreted. There simply needs to be a COVID coordinator on site during games/training in the same way you need a WHS rep on site while a mine is operating. This is not always the same person. A club can train up/nominate as many people as they like, but they have to be trained and signed off as a (not THE) coordinator. Not many clubs will have the luxury of multiple people volunteering for the job, but I think its the only way to make it work.

No false information - just need to read the NNSW Guidelines - pretty clear.
What’s unclear though is NNSW’s guidance in terms of implementation
“Just do what you can” and “you don’t really have to implement the guidelines - they’re just guidance” isn’t the right message - why have the Guidelines at all - let clubs work it out.
The mis-information is coming from NNSW - who’s motivation is seemingly getting everyone back on the pitch so they can collect your money.
there not charging full price, there is a slight discount in all monies to be paid, rego and entry fee.
14/16 game comp is not half a comp either, if it currently stands as is, 9 teams in ZPL (Dudley out) that's 16 games. The ref fees, insurance, etc don't change all that much.
The main thing hurting clubs is/will be sponsorship money not coming in or being reduced.
