Paddlesport under the 5 Levels of Protection
The SCA notes the introduction of the Scottish Government’s 5 Levels of Protection to continue to tackle COVID-19.
Read Updated Guidance
Check which level you are in based on where you live: https://www.gov.scot/check-local-covid-level/
Then check the SCA guidance including the new tables setting out where you can go and what you can do at each level and based on the type of activity.
We continue to work with sportscotland, the Scottish Government and other governing bodies of sport to ensure that sport and physical activity is delivered safely in line with the guidelines.
Public health and wellbeing remains the most pressing priority and the SCA is extremely grateful to paddlers for continuing to follow the government guidance and for helping to suppress the spread of the virus.
We must all keep doing as much as we can to help suppress the spread of the virus. We encourage everyone to download and use the Protect Scotland app.
There are two virtual meetings, using Zoom, this week to discuss the latest guidance and to give an opportunity to ask any questions about its implications:
- Tuesday 3rd November 1000hrs - for Paddlesport Providers - e.g. Centres, Course Providers, Paid Coaches. Sign up here
- Thursday 5th November 1900hrs - for Committee Members and Coaches in Affiliated Clubs. Sign up here
