Clubs & Coaches
It is the duty of every club to give serious consideration
as to how it conducts activities and to take all reasonable steps
to ensure that participants, visitors and volunteers can enjoy the
sport it offers in a safe environment. That obligation
is particularly important with regards to the safety and welfare of
young sports participants.
