Return to Rugby Stage 3 Update

/in /by

COVID-19 Safe Training on the North Inch soon!

Perthshire Rugby would like to advise all members, players, parents and coaches that the next stage of the COVID-19 Return to Rugby plan is nearly ready to go. Almost every team has a COVID-19 Team Lead in place to work with the COVID-19 Safety Coordinator and this week the Club will be organising a training schedule for the duration of SRU Stage 3. These sessions are limited to 15 players maximum and every player will be placed into a “training bubble” who they will ideally train with each session for the entirety of Stage 3.

In due course players (& parents where appropriate) will be contacted by their Team Lead with a code to register for the Sports-Train App. This platform will handle all pre-registration, check-in/check-out and COVID-19 screening for every training session.

What can you do to be ready? Please watch this video from the SRU showing the Stage 3 training regulations and, if not already completed, the online e-learning course is compulsory for coaches and highly recommended for all players/parents.

Thank you for reading and getting excited about the return to rugby at Perthshire. The planned (but not confirmed) date for resuming Mini & Midi training is weekend 15/16th August. Your Team Lead will advise you once training sessions are organised to book on to. It will take time to get used to the new way of working and there will be regular communications from the Club and your Coaches. There may be delays or changes, we’re doing our best to get there as quickly and safely as possible.

Any questions or ideas contact Makka: clubcaptain@perthshire-rfc.co.uk

Return to Rugby at Perthshire RFC

/in /by

COVID-19 Safety Coordinator appointed and Club working to resume training once safe.

The SRU in conjunction with the Scottish Government recently published the Return to Rugby Roadmap. This details 6 Stages with indicative dates for the resumption of training then playing competitive rugby. There is a long uncertain road to travel until that point but, be assured, at Perthshire Rugby we are taking the necessary steps to get back as safely and effectively as possible.

Club Captain Ewan “Macka” MacKessack-Leitch has been appointed as our COVID-19 Safety Coordinator. This role is to “oversee the public health and safety measures across the club, ensuring that the club is operating in a safe manner and adheres to Scottish Government and SRU guidelines.”

An Action Plan has been developed following risk assessments, SRU guidance and input from across the Club. This will be a whole Club effort, every team will appoint a COVID-19 Team Lead to work with Macka to monitor and ensure compliance with COVID-19 safety procedures & protocols within their team/group.

Rugby is coming back to the North Inch! It will be different and take a bit more time until the necessary precautions and safeguards are in place, but we will be there soon. Your Team Managers or Section Heads will be in touch regarding the return to training – each will be working to their own timescale.

For more information, all guidance and recordings of training webinars are available and regularly updated on the SRU Return to Rugby site.

If you have any concerns, offers of help or advice around COVID-19; Macka would be very pleased to hear from you e-mail: clubcaptain@perthshire-rfc.co.uk

Club Serve Up Feast for Homeless at Christmas

/in /by

On Sunday 15th December the Club decided to give back to the local community. Arranged by our very own former Michelin star chef Jeremy Wares (& Tennent’s Club Volunteer of the Season 2018/19) the Senior Section met at the Salvation Army on the Skinnergate to prepare a feast for the homeless.

Alongside the 3 courses of pheasant broth, roast pork with all trimmings and apple trifle; Father Christmas came to deliver gifts to the diners. These gift boxes were wrapped and filled by donations from the Mini Section.

Jeremy Wares was delighted with the effort and community spirit shown by all from within Perthshire saying, “We should be very proud of the Mini Section, the amount of donations were wonderful and packing the boxes was a great team effort. The parents, kids and coaching teams were most generous and I was humbled to help hand out the boxes. We have great players & parents – the people at the Salvation Army were most grateful. It was pleasing to see so many of the 1XV players giving up their time to help. Its good to give back and do something for people less fortunate than ourselves.”

After the dinner service was completed Club Captain “MacKer” was grateful to all from the Club who had supported the activity and said, “We’re a community led club and we’re trying to spread some Christmas cheer. We get a lot of support from the local community and we thought this would be a nice way to show our gratitude and do a good deed for the city of Perth.”
