Any queries regarding your training time and venue should be directed to [email protected] Please let us know on the above email address in advance if your team is not using their training time in the gym - so we can notify the school and not be charged for court hire. There is no training during school holidays or public holidays, and we have found that none of our schools are ever very keen to open up for special holiday training sessions or weekends. So as not to disturb other teams already training, teams should not enter the venue before their assigned training time. Players must not to be left unattended at the gym until the coach is present before training. And after training, all children should be collected promptly. The club bears no responsibility for children left at the gym outside their designated training hours or not in the presence of their coach. At present parents and siblings are not permitted to attend training. Siblings present at training times should be supervised by their parents and must not be allowed to climb on the rails in the gym, nor play on the court while teams are training. The club will not bear liability should a sibling become injured or cause material damage during training time. Under no circumstances are unfinancial players or children not known to the Admin Officer permitted to train with Aberfeldie Jets. Coaches who allow children to train without written permission from Aberfeldie Jets will be personally liable for any injuries or material damage caused by such children. All teams are to vacate the court promptly once their training has ended so the next team may start or if the session is the last session for the night that the venue can be secured and we keep the schools happy. We encourage all players to attend training as it is at training and not games where coaches develop team concepts and plays as well as individual player development. It is common courtesy to let the coach and/or team manager know if your child can't make it to training. No player can expect fair and even court time if their attendance at training is irregular and unpredictable. The Aberfeldie Jets training policy can be found here. |
Coaching conflicts - important note to Coaches who Coach more than one team in the KBA Junior Domestic Competition or Coach and play
To: Aberfeldie Jets Coaches and player coaches where coaching conflicts apply Re: Coaching conflicts and your obligations If you are:
Prior to the commencement of each season the KBA asks each Club to submit a list of coaches/players who fall into the above two criteria (known as coaching conflicts). This list of coaching conflicts is used by the KBA office staff to fixture affected coaches games with as few clashes as possible. KBA feedback for Summer 2019-20 is that there is again a large number of coaching requests for the upcoming season and they’ve advised that their priorities when fixturing games are as follows:
The KBA have asked the Clubs to ensure that coaches/player coaches are aware that they do their best to avoid clashing fixtures but often due to the large number of requests, the size of the competition, and the lack of available courts, that some clashes are inevitable. They request all coaches have a contingency plan in place in the event that they are fixtured to be in two places at once or at back to back games at different venues. Whilst many may feel that this is unfair and that the KBA should be able to accommodate all requests, we feel fortunate that the KBA allow coach conflict requests to be made as many Associations don’t and just a few weeks back there was discussion and a vote to change this policy that was voted down by the Clubs, so the policy remains as is. If you do get clashes, please make your own arrangements for a fill in coach as the KBA have advised that they won’t be making changes to fixtures. Aberfeldie Jets gets no say in fixtures and are at the mercy of the KBA. The Club knows from previous seasons that when the KBA is notified of clashing fixtures that the KBA struggles to make changes, so we will not be requesting changes to the fixture once published by the KBA. To ensure Aberfeldie Jets comply with their legal obligations please ensure that whomever is a fill in coach as part of your contingency plan is registered to the Club and we have a copy of their WWCC on file before they fill in for you. If you are not sure if your back up person meets these requirements already, please check with our admin officer via [email protected] Thanks for being part of a small group of special people who dedicate their own time to help others. Without people like you we would not be able to field the teams that we do and have children out playing in the KBAJ domestic competition each week. We as a Club sincerely appreciate your efforts to help us get and keep kids playing the sport we love. Winter 2021 Coach and Team Manager Induction notes
