LAVIC Event COVID-19 Information
LAVIC have advised that due to the restrictions on the number of patrons in attendance on each day of 1000, excluding those required to conduct the event, such as Staff, Appointed Officials, Centre Officials, & Team Managers, there will be entry caps on each age group that can register.
Only parents/guardians, siblings and those allocated a duty/ role by LAVIC will be allowed to attend. Grandparents, spectators, friends, coaches will not be permitted to attend, as they would be included in the cap and reduce the number of athletes that can participate.
