It is important that during training and matches that the player has plenty of fluids – especially in the warmer weather. Sun cream should always be worn during the hot summer weather and a hat used to protect the player from the sun. Suitable footwear and shin pads must be worn during matches and training.

It is the responsibility of the parent to ensure their child always has available any inhalers or epi-pens that have been prescribed.

It is part of the Referee’s role to inspect footwear, shin pads and jewellery before each match. Any player not removing jewellery (including necklaces, rings, bracelets, leather bands and earrings) will not be allowed onto the field of play. It is the coach’s decision to remove players or suspend play if there are any health and safety issues. Please advise the coach if your child has had any types of aches and pains before or after the game.
