Step 4 Covid guidance from Sport England

Understanding Step 4 coronavirus restrictions

We've updated our frequently asked questions

We’ve now moved into Step 4 of the government's roadmap for the easing of lockdown restrictions in England. This means that:

There are no set restrictions on how many people can take part in sport and physical activity, indoors and outdoors
All forms of activities can take place without set restrictions. We advise you refer to your national governing body’s guidance where relevant
All sports facilities can open, including ancillary facilities
There are no indoor capacity limits, however, venues may put in place some restrictions and guidance for enclosed areas
Organised sport participation events such as (but not limited to) races, rides and organised walks can take place outdoors with no capacity caps for participants or spectators
Government guidance for sport and physical activity will provide advice on how to reduce transmission when you're exercising.

We know many people will still have questions as to what Step 4 means for sport and physical activity, which is why we've worked with the government to answer your frequently asked questions on our website. https://www.sportengland.org/?u
