Working With Children Check

In order to prioritize the safety and well-being of our underage athletes, we kindly request that participants over the age of 18 who possess a valid Working With Children Check (WWCC) provide this documentation. We feel this is demonstrative of our commitment to child safety and sets a standard of trust and confidence for all participants and their families. This also helps us to foster a culture of transparency and accountability within our club.

Please note that this is not a legal requirement for our industry, however we encourage all participants to apply for a volunteer WWCC! You can find out how to apply here!
