PLAYER SAFETY POLICIES AND GUIDELINES

We love our kids! At the Arlington Soccer Association, we strive to provide quality soccer experiences for our members in a safe and healthy environment.  In an effort to achieve this goal, the ASA has compiled a set of safety policies and guidelines regarding several areas of the association.  The objective is to outline procedures, many of them new, that can be followed by players, coaches, parents and others to provide a safe, enjoyable place for our children.

The Player Safety Policies and Guidelines focus on:

•        Parent Responsibilities at Practices and Games (new)

•        Transportation (new)

•        Inclement Weather Procedures

•        Check-in and Check-out Procedures (new)

•        Bathroom Breaks at Practices and Games (new)

•        Medical Releases and Situations (new)

•        ASA’s “KidSafe” Program (Background Checks)

•        Movement of Soccer Goals

•        Injury Information (new)

The complete document can be found here.

Several important highlights of the Player Safety Policies include:

•        A parent volunteer must be present at all team events (where there is only one coach  present)

•        ASA Staff (coaches) cannot provide transportation to any player

•        A check-in/out system for players at all team events to be established

•        Players MAY NOT move goals at any time

Please review and incorporate the policies and procedures in this document.  ASA thanks you for helping take care of all of the kids in our programs!
