Supervision of Athletes and Participants

SUPERVISION OF ATHLETES AND PARTICIPANTS

During training and competition, CLCR strives to create two-deep leadership and minimize one-to-one interactions to create a safe training environment and to protect athletes and participants.

APPROPRIATE ONE-ON-ONE INTERACTIONS

Individual Meetings

An individual meeting may be necessary to address an athlete’s concerns, training program, or competition schedule. Under these circumstances, coaches, staff members and/or volunteers are to observe the following guidelines:

  • Where possible, an individual meeting should take place in a publicly visible and open area
  • If an individual meeting is to take place in an office, the door should remain unlocked and open
  • If a closed-door meeting is necessary, the coach, staff member and/or volunteer must inform another coach, staff member and/or volunteer and ensure the door remains unlocked

Individual Training Sessions

An individual training session(s) with an athlete or participant may also be desired or necessary. Under these circumstances, permission of a minor athlete’s parents or guardians is required in advance of the individual training session(s), and CLCR welcomes parents and guardians to attend the training session if able.

PROHIBITED ONE-ON-ONE INTERACTIONS

Except as set forth above, minor athletes and participants will not be left unattended or unsupervised during CLCR activities.
