Updated Coaching Guidelines (1st June 2020)
Industry Update: Updated coaching guidelines for England
This morning (June 1st), the UK Government clarified the COVID-19 guidelines regarding personal trainers and coaches for Sport in England.
The new guidelines have confirmed that ‘Personal training or coaching is permitted if outside and if people are a minimum of 2 metres apart and providing there are gatherings of no more than 6 people from different households’. This relaxation of the guidelines means from today, PGA Members can host small group coaching sessions of up to 5 students.
To comply with this regulation, you should enforce strict hygiene measures and it is recommended that PGA professionals complete a comprehensive risk assessment and refer to the coaching guidelines on the PGA COVID-19 Resource Hub.
