Players in Self Isolation from School

The Department for Education have now clarified this as follows:

If a school sends home a year group can that child still play football?
If a school has sent someone home to self-isolate, they must do exactly that – stay at home and not come into contact with anyone for the period of self-isolation. If they are sent home to self-isolate because they have symptoms, they should get a test and must stay at home for at least 10 days (although if the test comes back negative, they can end their isolation). If they are sent home because they’ve been in close contact with someone who has tested positive, they must self-isolate for 14 days (and only get a test if they subsequently develop symptoms themselves).

So, if you do have a child that has been sent home to self-isolate they must not play football or train with the team during their isolation.

If this effects your team please speak to your Manager/Club Secretary to inform the League asap.
