Session rules
Thank you very much for your interest in Little Kickers – we hope your child has a great time!! To help us make sure that every session is as enjoyable and as safe as possible please take a few moments to familiarise yourself with our Sessions rules set out below – thank you!
- For Health and Safety purposes please ensure your child is not running around the pitch/venue prior to your session start time. We do not provide balls or other equipment for children to play with before or in between sessions.
- Please remember that you are the responsible adult for your child when he/she is attending a Little Kickers session. Responsible adults should stay within easy sight and reach of their child at all times. *
- Please help us start and finish sessions on time by arriving and registering promptly for your session. Please remember to sign-out on the register if you have to leave the session early for any reason, for emergency evacuation purposes.
- Please keep siblings, buggies and associated equipment off or as far back from the playing area at all times. ‘Pitch invaders’ are not covered by our accident insurance if they cause or are involved in an accident.
- Please assist us to ensure that the session runs smoothly by firmly requiring your child to sit with you on the sidelines for a full 3 minute ‘time-out and calm down’ as may be requested by the coach or assistant coach at any time during the session.
- Parents/Carers should provide drinks but no food must be eaten on the pitch to avoid the hazard of choking
- To comply with safeguarding guidelines and best practice, we request that parents/carers DO NOT take photographs or videos at Little Kickers sessions. Whilst our coaches will do their best to enforce a total ban on the use of photographic/film or video equipment by parents/carers at classes, due to the nature of their work and the concentration required during the delivery of sessions, we are unable to guarantee this, and your cooperation would be appreciated. From time to time Little Kickers may organise class photo shoots, but only where all parental consents have been obtained.
- Please try to keep noise and disturbance from the sidelines to a minimum to avoid distracting your child and others.
- Please ensure your child is wearing athletic clothing and proper footwear for each session and that you have packed appropriate clothing for all weather conditions for those sessions that are running outdoors (Mega Kickers only).
- Although general advice will be offered, no requests for transfers, moving up age groups or changing venues or sessions can be confirmed on the spot. Absolutely no cheques or enrolment forms will be accepted at the class. Please call the administration number on your enrolment information to discuss the matter with the administration team – thank you!
* At some indoor venues the sessions are more successful when the parents sit outside the room with siblings/buggies etc during the course of the session. We accommodate this in certain venues but to fulfill our insurance obligations and keep the session safe for everyone we must maintain Ofsted Ratios of 1:4 for children under 3 years and 1:8 for children aged 3 years and over. The doors to the room must be closed and noise levels outside the session kept to an acceptable level for the users of the remainder of the venue. Parents must not leave the area outside the room and must be made aware that they remain responsible adults for their child/ children at all times.
