Policies & safety
Every policy a parent, player, coach or volunteer needs — published in one place, where anyone can find it.
Codes of conduct
Existing
Parent & Guardian Code of Conduct
What we ask of families on the sideline and around the programme.
Pending board adoption
Coaches' Code of Conduct
A written standard for everyone who coaches in this association — the same expectations we already publish for parents and players.
Pending board adoption
Volunteer roles & requirements
What each volunteer role involves, what screening applies, and how much time it takes.
Safety
Concussion protocol
Baseline testing has been used here since 2013. King-Devick testing gives us a real comparison point if a player takes a hit.
Safe Contact
Safe Contact is Football Canada's mandated course. Every coach in this association holds it.
Contact limits in practice
Hawk-tackle technique at every level, and deliberately limited full-contact practice time.
Equipment
Pending board adoption
Helmet replacement policy
Helmets are replaced on a defined schedule, and the association budgets for it every year. This policy states the rule in one place, in plain language, so parents know what their player is wearing.
What's supplied
All equipment is supplied by the association except cleats. If cleats are a barrier, donated cleats are available at no cost — just ask.
The equipment deposit is $100, additional to the registration fee and paid together with registration.
Privacy & your information
Registering a player means we hold personal information about a child. That deserves a plain answer about what we keep and who sees it.
