Parent & Junior Member Agreement

Last updated: 15 September 2026

Parent/guardian commitments

Provide accurate contact, emergency, medical, medication, injury and collection information and update it promptly.
Ensure the child arrives appropriately dressed, clean and ready to train.
Tell LionHeart about health changes, contagious illness, skin infection or any welfare issue relevant to safe participation.
For children under 13, arrange collection by a parent/carer or authorised adult. For ages 13–17, independent departure requires prior written permission.
Collect on time. If delayed, contact the Academy as soon as possible.
Respect coaches, staff, other families and safeguarding rules.
Discuss concerns with reception/admin, Head Coach or safeguarding channels rather than confronting children or other families directly.

Junior member commitments

Listen to coaches and follow safety instructions.
Respect training partners and use controlled technique.
Tell a coach if something hurts, feels unsafe or makes you uncomfortable.
No bullying, discriminatory language, intimidation or deliberately hurting another person.
Respect the Academy, equipment and other people’s belongings.
Ask for help if worried about anything at training or elsewhere.

Sparring and competition

Formal sparring requires separate parent/guardian consent. Competition requires parent/guardian consent and Head Coach approval. Consent to ordinary junior membership does not automatically authorise formal sparring or competition.
