Safety notices

We introduced new safety procedures when the clocks went back at the beginning of October 2022.

We realise that not all parents will want to help or watch from the sidelines when the weather gets colder and/or wetter and we know that the car park at Leos is not well lit and is busy.

Parents who aren’t helping with the session or watching from the sidelines must fill in a form with their mobile phone number and car registration and car location so that we can contact them and/or find them if there is an incident involving their child or their child wants to leave the rugby pitch before the end of the session. The form will be under the covered area in front of the clubhouse.

The meeting points will continue to be in front of the clubhouse as it is nicer than in the small car park.

Warning – NO WAGGLING – there was an incident at Leos a few months ago when one child was waggling a post and the top of the post hit another child in the face. Let’s be safe this week – before you arrive, please tell your child/ren that they mustn’t touch any of the posts at any time.

Warning – wearing of spikes is not allowed

This week – 126 attending – 3 groups at 4:45, 4 groups at 5:30 , 2-and-a-bit groups at 6:15 and 1 group at Brownlee at 5:55

Last chance for Eleanor’s Hills – this will be unsafe after the clocks go back at the end of next week!

Everyone please arrive 5 mins before the advertised session start time so that the session can start promptly and the children all get 40 minutes of training.

NB please ensure you are aware of the rules for Confirmation and Cancellation in the following link https://www.valleystriders.org.uk/juniors-training-at-leos-2023/

If you have any queries, please comment on the Facebook post or email [email protected]

On Tuesday, if you need to cancel, please text 07775 898 558 (don’t use any other method, not email, not gmail, not Facebook, not Messenger, not Whatsapp) (but do use WhatsApp for the 6pm group).
