POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
Please see below information on our policies and procedures
WEATHER
Our leagues are primarily run outdoors and can be played during rain.
​
However if the weather takes a turn for the worst and courts are deemed unsafe to play on, the games will be called off.
​
How the decision is made...
The forecast will be checked prior to the games starting., If there is over 80% chance of heavy rain/snow the games will be called off and player will be notified 3 hours prior to the start time.
​
The venue will also be contacted to gain their opinion of the courts safety prior to the start of the games
​
If the temperature falls below 0 the games will be rescheduled as we do not wish for players to put themselves at risk of injury, if the courts freeze over.
​
In the event of heavy rain once the games have started and the umpire deems it unsafe a decision will be made at the time.
​
If either of these events occur, all games will be rescheduled, even if a game has started.
INCIDENT REPORTING
In the event of an incident occurring at one of our leagues, whether it be an accident or incident between players or staff, this will be recorded in the incident log.
​
The umpires will have the incident log with them to complete.
​
There will always be a minimum of 1 first aider on site with access to a first aid kit.

If urgent medical assistant is required a member of our team will contact the emergency services for you.
FOREFITS
In the event your team does not have enough players, please contact the manager who will arrange subs to play for your team.
