Hockey WA COVID-19 Update I 2 July 2021

Hockey WA advises that, in line with the WA State Government’s announcement of the easing of restrictions in the post-lockdown period from 12:01am Saturday 3 July, Perth and Peel-based hockey activities will continue as planned for the weekend and early next week, with post-lockdown interim restrictions in place until 12.01am 6 July.

Games and training, including the All Flags Premier League, community hockey and Thundersticks Academy sessions, will go ahead as scheduled this weekend, however spectators are strictly prohibited. The Fuel to Go & Play 7/8 Championships will also proceed as planned, commencing Monday 5 July.

Players, officials and team management are permitted access to venues but must adhere to government guidelines.

No Hockey WA participants’ parents, guardians or supporters will be permitted access to venues – a drop-off and pick-up arrangement is required.

Hockey WA strenuously encourages everyone to follow the new WA State Government Guidelines, including: 

• Wearing a mask in indoor and outdoor public places, while at work and on public transport, unless exempt or for outdoor vigorous exercise;
• Following healthy hygiene practices;
• Downloading and using the SafeWA App and signing in at all venues;
• If you are unwell or have any symptoms, stay home; and
• If you have been to any of the exposure sites, get tested and remain home until you have returned a negative test result - more information on exposure sites and testing here 

All clubs and venues are required to adhere to Government protocols and requirements. Any questions around venue requirements are addressed to Hockey WA General Manager – Operations Graeme Hall – Graeme.Hall@hockeywa.org.au

The health and safety of the community remains Hockey WA’s number one priority.

Hockey WA appreciates the hockey community’s understanding and patience with scheduling and announcements in this dynamic environment.
