Membership – Juniors Registration

We take our health and safety responsibilities seriously in line with the policies set by England Netball and other statutory bodies. We require your co-operation to ensure that we are able to discharge our duties appropriately.

Netball is a contact sport and players may get injured during training or a match. For the safety of its members it is essential that the club maintains up to date emergency contact information and medical records that may apply should a player fall ill or be involved in an accident whilst under the supervision of the club.

No player will be allowed to participate in a training session or match unless the club holds this information.

If emergency contact or medical information change it is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to notify the club, in writing, of any change.

There are first aid facilities at our training venues and our Level 2 coaches are qualified first aiders. Accident records are completed for all injuries and records are kept at our training venues and held by coaches on match days. If a player is involved in an accident an incident form will be completed to record what happened and the treatment given. Head injuries are immediately reported to parents on a ‘Head Injury Form, for monitoring purposes or in case follow up action is required.

Both parents and children are expected to comply with the England Netball Codes of Conduct, England Netball Conduct and Disciplinary Regulations and to the England Netball rules.

If your daughter behaves in a way that puts the reputation of the club or the health and safety of themselves or anyone else at risk e.g. going off alone, their coach will remind your child of the Code of Conduct and take appropriate measures to reduce any further risk to your child.

If such behaviour is repeated or judged to be extreme or puts themselves or others at significant risk it may be necessary to end their membership of Club. If this occurs you will be notified .

The behaviour policy and code of conduct can be found at: https://www.englandnetball.co.uk/Conduct_and_Disciplinary_Regulations

Please ensure your daughter has read and agrees to abide by the Player’s Code of Conduct. Anyone failing to abide by these codes or the club policies will risk having their membership terminated.

The club does not allow girls to travel to and from training or matches by taxi without an accompanying adult. Should we find a girl planning to travel alone in a taxi we will contact parents to pick the child up.

It is the parent/guardian’s responsibility to update any medial or emergency contact details, or other information relevant to the health of the child. If this information changes during the season the parent/guardian must inform the club, in writing before the next tournament their daughter takes part in.

Tournament organisers require that parents/guardians of all participating players give consent for the use of photography at the event. Any Sparks Juniors parents/guardians/players wishing to take photographs at tournaments must register for permission to do so with the event organisers.

We are committed to the development of club based on the principles of fairness, respect and inclusion.
