Ni•TEN Judo safety plan

Judo Alberta "Phase 4"

“Cohorts” under the Government of Alberta COVID-19 Regulations will be limited to 50 members. Each Judo Class is considered a “Cohort”. Coaches/instructors will try to maintain 2 meter social distancing with all participants.

Classes being offered for 2020/2021 Season are as follows:

Little Ninjas (Age 4-6)
White Belt Jr (Age 7-15)
Colour Belt Jr (Age 7-15)
Adult/Seniors (Age 16-99)
Women’s Only (Age 11-99)

Arrival & check•in

LOCATION: The Judo Club is located at the Indoor Turf in Shell Place. Enter through the East Entrance of Shell Place. Keep going left, down a small set of stairs, through the glass doors until the Indoor Turf on the right.

As per MacDonald Island Guidelines, Members and Spectators should not arrive sooner than 15 minutes before class.

Dirty/muddy/wet footwear must be removed at the entrance to the Club. Anyone wanting to play on the Indoor Turf in the few minutes before class MUST have a clean, dry pair of running shoes. No bare feet on the turf as it will turn your feet black!

Absolutely no one is allowed on the Judo Mats before class begins.

All Members and Spectators must sanitize hands before entering the Club.

Spectators must follow 2 meter social distancing measures at all times.

Members of the same Cohort are allowed to have full contact during class on the mat.

CHECK-IN: A registration table will be set up at the entrance to the club in order to adhere to COVID-19 Guidelines. Every participant must check-in at the registration table so please allow time for this. A volunteer will measure everyone’s forehead temperature, ask COVID-19 screening questions (refer to Club COVID Screening Form/Log), verify Emergency Contact Information for Junior Members, and assist Head Instructor with verifying Trackie registrations and obtaining signatures on Liability waivers if necessary. Please note, if anyone has a temperature not in the normal range or is showing symptoms of illness, the volunteer will ask the Member/Family to not enter the Judo Club and to follow Alberta Health Guidelines for self-quarantining and COVID-19 testing.

Members must use their Judo Bag to store all belongings during class, including coat, snowpants and other gear during the colder months. There will be a designated area for Judo Bags during class. MacDonald Island Guidelines require changerooms to be closed, therefore we recommend that Members must arrive wearing their Judo Uniform (Gi) and making a suitable effort to keep it clean during travel.

Members MUST have a water bottle with them for class, which they will keep nearby during class on the mat. There is a water bottle filling station, but there is no access for drinking water directly by mouth.

Class start

Classes will always begin on time. All Members are expected to be on time for class.

Late members will have to do a set amount burpees before joining the class!

Parents and siblings watching the class must be seated and quiet during the entire class. Spectators do not count towards the cohort limit of the class and must maintain 2 metre social distancing.

The Judo Mats are off limits until the Head Instructor starts class and invites Members on. When at the Judo Mat, it is important to remove footwear and step directly onto the mat, NOT on the green turf. We will use a Crash Mat “Bridge” to ensure clean access onto the Judo Mats.

When class begins, the Head Instructor will review the COVID symptom checklist and other protocols such as showering and washing Judo Uniform after class.

MacDonald Island washrooms are accessible. During class, members will not be permitted to use the washroom unless it is an emergency.

Judo Mats and Crash Mats are cleaned (swept) and disinfected (sprayed and wiped with Quat Plus solution) before and after every class and stored against the wall. Benches, sporting equipment and Gi rack used during class will be cleaned and disinfected and returned to the Storage Room. Used loaner Gi’s and extra belts will be put in a hamper at the end of class to be laundered.

Class end

Head Instructor will dismiss class and remind everyone to shower and wash their Judo Uniform as part of COVID-19 Guidelines. Members and Spectators must quietly and calmly gather their belongings.

Members and spectators must sanitize their hands when leaving the Club.

MacDonald Island Guidelines require one-direction traffic therefore everyone must exit through the side doors of Shell Place closest to the Indoor Turf.
