  • SUMMARY OF RETURN TO TRAIN PLAN

  • 1. All Alberta Clubs must meet the following criteria before reopening:
       * Designate a COVID-19 Safety Coordinator
       * Develop a Club 'Return to Train Plan'
       * Review Plan with an ABTA Staff Member
       * Obtain ABTA Approval to Reopen
     

    2. All members participating in club activities (lessons, meetings, volunteering) must submit the MANDATORY Daily Screening Checklist 30 minutes PRIOR to the scheduled activity. The Club Safety Coordinator is responsible for making sure ALL members taking part in club activities have submitted their form BEFORE the activity begins. If a member does not complete the daily screening form, they are prohibited from participating during that day's activities.

     

    3. Region Chairpersons will be monitoring to ensure that all clubs are enforcing the MANDATORY Daily Screening Checklists for each of their scheduled classes. If a club fails to submit daily screening checklists for their members, the region chairperson will be in contact with the Club Chair and the Club Safety Coordinator. Classes will be suspended immediately until the club takes appropriate action that is approved by both the region chairperson and ABTA.

     

    4. Region Chairperson will submit weekly club reports to ABTA.

     

    5. If a club has a member that tests positive for COVID-19, the Region Chairperson will work directly with the club to ensure the correct protocols have been executed prior to the club resuming regular programming.

     

     

    Examples of what information should be included in your Club Return to Train Plan:

    * COVID-19 Protocols for each facility you will be holding classes in
    * Name and Contact Information for Club Safety Coordinator (one per club)
    Class Schedule
    * Class List - including all Athletes and Coaches
    * Sanction Forms for all classes (each location must be a separate sanction)
    * Who will be monitoring the Daily Screening Checklist submissions?
    * Who will inform the athlete they are not permitted to participate if their      * Daily Screening Checklist form is not submitted prior to class?
    * What is the club's plan if someone tests positive for COVID-19?
