  02/07/2020 GovernanceSport Ireland E-Learning Course for Covid-19 - Phase 3

  Sport Ireland Covid-19 Return to Sport

  Since March, Sport Ireland has been providing the sport sector with up to date guidance and advice on COVID-19. This information has been in line with recommendations from the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport, the Department of Health, the Health Protection Surveillance Centre, the Department of the Taoiseach and the National Public Health Emergency Team. 

  This Sport Ireland COVID-19 Return to Sport e-learning resource is intended to supplement Government advice through the Roadmap for the Reopening of Society and Business with specific reference to sport and physical activity. At all times, the health of those participating in and facilitating sport and physical activity is priority. Whilst risk in relation to the spread of COVID-19 cannot be eliminated, it can be minimised.

  Now the training is available for Phase 3. We encourage everyone to read this through whether you are a participant, volunteer, coach, parent or administrator at your badminton hall.

  The Badminton Ireland National Events Committee met on 18th June 2020 to discuss the postponed national events between March 2020 and May 2020. The committee agreed on a new calendar which has subsequently been approved by the Badminton Ireland board of directors.

   

  Agreed dates for National Events postponed in 2020:

  • All Ireland Juvenile Inter County Finals - 10th October 2020
  • All-Ireland Senior Inter County Finals - 11th October 2020**
  • All-Ireland Inter Provincials - 24th & 25th October 2020
  • Grade B,E &H Nationals (up to and including Quarter Finals) - 7th November 2020

  **Qualification for events to be completed before event can take place. Leinster Badminton have withdrawn from competition

   

  Venues for the events are still to be confirmed and will be updated on the Badminton Ireland website accordingly. If any of the above events cannot be fulfilled, then the event will not be postponed further and will be cancelled. 

   

  All events in the new calendar are being constantly reviewed. Players are advised if they are looking to book hotels for any of the above events or for any event in the new season, that they buy a cancellation policy as the tournament organiser may be forced to cancel the event due to COVID-19. In the event that a sanctioned event is cancelled, all entry fees will be fully refunded and players will be notified by the tournament organiser.   

   

  All sanctioned events will be subject to approval from Badminton Ireland based on COVID-19 protocols. If an event can't meet these requirements, the event will be unsanctioned.
