Guidance on coronavirus (COVID-19) measures for elite sport

This document sets out a recommended framework for the operation of elite sport. It sets out guidance for elite sport organisations on how to reduce the risk from COVID-19 for athletes, coaches, support staff, and other members of the elite sport operational structure. This includes guidance for UK-based elite sports organisations and individuals travelling to competition or training outside the UK.

This replaces the previous elite sport guidance, which set out a phased 5-stage return to training and competition to ensure the successful resumption of elite sport.

It is supplemented by the guidance for events and attractions, which outlines how competition delivery partners and venues should plan and manage sporting events with spectators.

For information on how to participate in or provide sporting activities, please refer to the guidance on grassroots sport, which sets out advice for the public and sport providers on how to organise and participate in grassroots sport and physical activity as safely as possible.
