Important info for all players

There’s been a lot of work going on behind the scenes to get Thistle ready to safely return to training, and we’re very excited to finally be back!

Our usual pitch at Mary Erskine hasn’t reopened yet, so for the first two weeks (2nd and 9th Sept) we will be training at an earlier time of 6.30-8pm at Ravelston Park (EH4 3PG)
We will confirm venues and timings for the following weeks soon.

Obviously there are things we need to do differently in order to keep everyone safe - please read the document attached in full to understand our new protocols. We know this makes it all sound very serious, but if everyone can follow the guidelines then we can keep training both safe and fun!

Before attending a training session, you will need to follow these steps to help us keep track of everyone’s attendance:

  1. Read the training protocol document below
  2. Complete our contact details form
  3. Download the Heja app (message us for the team code)
  4. Use the app to confirm your attendance at training by 7pm on Monday each week

The training protocol document explains in more detail how training sessions will run and what measures are being taken. We do need you to read this in full before training, but here are the key points:

  • We will split into smaller groups or ‘bubbles’ of 6-8 players
  • Some drills will involve contact, but keeping a 2m distance at all other times
  • If you’d prefer to keep a distance let us know, as we can have one group doing non-contact/distanced drills only. We know some of you might want to limit your number of close contacts, so this is no problem at all!

The committee has decided to offer a 50% discount on club membership fees for this season - we will be in touch with members soon with some more info about this.

We are still welcoming new members, provided they follow the steps outlined above. Get in touch if you're interested in joining!

Sus and Olivia are the club’s COVID officers and will be reviewing our guidelines regularly, so if you have any questions or feedback about this then please do get in touch.

Can’t wait to see you all!!!
