Following the Welsh Government announcement of the immediate move of the whole of Wales to Alert Level 4 from midnight tonight, it is with regret Tennis Wales must inform all tennis venues and courts (Indoors and Outdoors) to close at Midnight tonight (Saturday 19th December).
Alert Level 4 ‘Very High Risk’ brings into effect a ‘stay at home’ lockdown/firebreak requirement across Wales and unfortunately sees the cessation of all tennis activities. It is our understanding there will be 3 weekly reviews of alert level across Wales by Welsh Government.
Following the First Minister announcement on Wednesday 16th December, and also the publication of the Welsh Government Covid-19 Alert Level Plan on Monday, Tennis Wales has liaised with Welsh Government, Welsh Sports Association and the LTA to provide updated guidance to the tennis community in Wales.
They have developed a new table of detailed guidance for what is allowed at the various alert levels in Wales, access is provided via the link here. We hope this gives clarity to the tennis community on what tennis activity will look like across the various alert levels as they are brought into effect in 2021.
Tennis Wales's CEO Simon Johnson has also published a statement on the recent changes that can be read here.
Following the end of the Firebreak Lockdown in Wales tennis activities will resume in Cowbridge on Monday, 9th November 2020. The health of our players, visitors, coaches and their families and friends continues to be paramount.
Tennis Wales and the LTA have outlined adaptations so that tennis activity can be enjoyed in a way that is in line with Welsh Government advice and helps to prevent the spread of COVID-19. These will continue to operate in Cowbridge in addition to the changes explained below. They include measures to limit hand to shared surface contact and minimise unnecessary interactions with others. The guidelines are accessible via the link below to the LTA’s dedicated coronavirus advice page, as well as via the Tennis Wales website. We encourage you to read (and follow) these guidelines carefully. Guidance for Tennis Venues, Coaches & Players in Wales
