Aligned Leisure Summary:
Masks are not required to be worm while in our stadium. However, it is currently mandatory that all attendees are carrying a mask for the purpose when social distancing is not able to be followed, as per current government guidelines.
More than 1 spectator per player is now allowed. We are still encouraging that only those required to attend, do attend (Mum, Dad and Siblings is permitted). What we are currently encouraging is no extended family outings at games currently take place and that aunties and uncles, nana and grandpas etc. (unless primary carer on that day), wait until we have further easing on capacity guidelines. Please note siblings are still requested to remain with parents while attending games to prevent any unnecessary crossover between courts.
Teams and players are still encouraged to arrive no earlier than 15 minutes before their game, and are still encouraged to leave as early as possible after the game commences. It is requested that any after game team meetings please take place outside our venues to ensure we remain within capacity limits during crossover of games.
Emergency Exits located next to courts 4 & Courts 8 are still our preferred method of exit at Cardinia Life to prevent as much unnecessary crossing of paths during the crossover of games.
All spectators are encouraged to practice social distancing while attending games.
Aligned Leisure will running QR codes at training. All players and parents attending training will be required to check in using Aligned QR codes when attending training. Please allow time to check in prior to training commencing.
To reduce movement in the stadium during training , we ask that all siblings attending training remain on the ccourt where the sibling is training. We do not want non-training siblings to be running around the stadium.
