Description: The Coalition of Major Professional and Participation Sports (COMPPS) provides a collective response on behalf of its seven member sports where their interests are aligned. Its members are: AFL, RA, CA, FFA, NRL, NA, TA.
COVID-19 is having a significant impact across our community and all our codes. The desire for community sport to return to play this year in 2020 is strong. A possible return to play is being carefully planned for by our sports in collaboration with many health experts, government bodies, and other stakeholders.
We share a mutual strong commitment in multi-sport participation at the community level and seek to avoid local participants having to choose between sports with overlapping seasons. The issue of venue access at community level is one that all codes are committed to assisting those planning ground use. We also encourage decisions to be made locally according to local conditions and considerations and we are encouraging our local associations and clubs to work together to achieve agreements. We believe that
As we know our sports at the community are run by volunteers. COVID-19 is placing even greater demand on volunteers in these circumstances and we are all striving to make this as easy as possible.
