As of today, the latest advice, particularly given the need to reduce social contact, has led scottishathletics to recommend the following course of action and the trustees of the club are unanimous in their support of this advice.
scottishathletics recommend that all formal club/group training sessions be cancelled for the time being, but the situation will be monitored and reviewed on a week-by-week basis and until the recommendations on social contact are better understood. SAL COVID-19 Latest Advice.
***ALL FORMAL EDINBURGH ATHLETIC CLUB COACHING SESSIONS ARE CANCELLED WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT***
For clarity these include
Saughton Enclosure on Tuesday and Thursday
Lethem Park on Tuesday
George Watson’s College on Tuesday, Thursday & Friday
Edinburgh Academy on Thursday
All EAC Cadet sessions.
Some club coaches who are working with Senior athletes may choose to make individual arrangements with their athletes following the guidance from *scottishathletics and you may be contacted by your coach with suggestions as to how to maintain fitness in very difficult circumstances.
*However, we fully recognise the importance of all participants continuing to be physically active during this time.
We would encourage people to do so in safe and appropriate environments keeping in mind the latest Scottish Government advice.
