Probably have a better indication of how things would work tonight. We had the bare group of 20 at the ground on Tuesday (18 training initially, a bad finger dislocation and hospital trip for someone ensured we'd stay within the guidelines) but expecting more tonight....and that was before the local Rugby League comp pulled the pin on the season and we've already had at least one player (contracted to the Capras no less but used to play for us as a youth player, their season was curtailed in March) indicate his intention to come down. With the bare 20 there wasn't a need to split the ground into sections or groups, but we had to rub the sanitiser into the hands prior to warm up. Think the hardest part will be to vacate the venue (not so much the ground itself, but the car park) upon finishing, usually a few hang around for about 10-15 and some for 25-30 post training just in the rooms to talk the usual garbage.
As a guide I know some clubs have spread training times as much as possible. One club has their Under 15.5s with a handful of excess 13.5's training at a nearby school and have combined their Under 17.5s with their senior group training as 2 groups on Monday and Thursday, with their women's team training Tuesday and Saturday. Other clubs have a group of 13.5's training at the same time as their 15.5's at their ground with 17.5's with the seniors (they share a ground with soccer who would get access on some other days as they've been cleared to train as well). Our club has Under 15.5's training at another venue, 13.5's starting just after 3:30 on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and the women's training on Monday and Wednesday Nights.
