Ratios - Players to Coaches

13 to 18 Year Olds - 1 Coach per 10 Players

​

Regardless of the ratio you should always have at least 2 DBS checked adults at any training session or match. 

 

Club rules also state that parents/carers should remain at training/matches (rather than drop and go) for U11s and below i.e. primary school aged children. It is not an issue for a parent/carer to bring more than one child due to availability, liftsharing etc but the coach needs to know which adult is responsible for each child in case of any incident.
