    Return to Badminton- Republic of Ireland


    Badminton Ireland have updated the Return to Badminton Guidance for Clubs, Coaches & Players following the latest Covid-19 Restrictions announcement from the Irish Government. The updated restrictions outline  that gyms & leisure centres can reopen for individual training only from June 7th. Sport Ireland has clarified that this concept can be defined as 'Individual, physically distanced, non-contact activity, completed in a pre-defined area, within a controlled environment and without the sharing of equipment.This definition will allow for the return of Singles Badminton under certain conditions. 

    The following Return to Play restrictions are for Ulster clubs, players & members within Donegal, Cavan & Monaghan 

    A quick overview of the BI Return to Play Guidelines include:
    • Singles play only may resume or Doubles only from the same household..
    • Physical distancing should be observed throughout the period of play and entering and exiting the court. Players should avoid changing ends during this phase.
    • Players must refrain from handshakes and high fives
    • Arranging a court time for players in advance is mandatory, preferably via a court booking system, website, app, or phone. This will assist in managing physical distancing and contact tracing should it be required subsequently.
    • Coaches can work with two players who are not from the same household on one court but only when players are at opposite sides of the net to each other. In this instance, coaching should not take place where players are side-by-side on one half of a court.
    • Coaches can coach a maximum of 4 players from the same household on one court at any one time. Physical distancing measures should always be followed and such procedures for doing so should be outlined in the risk assessments being prepared by coaches
    All documents can be downloaded below or viewed on the Badminton Ireland Website here

    BI will be hosting a Return to Play Webinar on Monday 24th May at 7pm via Zoom. It is recommended for any clubs in the ROI planning to return to play from the 7th June to attend.
