This sets out how we recommend all of the site’s users (athletes, coaches, parents) operate when using the site.
For more detailed information, go to the site’s terms and conditions, privacy policy and child protection policy.
General
All users registered on the site whether they are a junior athlete, a senior athlete, a coach, a parent or other have a responsibility to act fairly and responsibly at all times. All users must remember that although there are areas that can only be accessed by the athlete and possibly their team the site should not be considered private: member areas can be viewed by web administrators. Although all details and postings will be treated in the strictest confidence any inappropriate use discovered will be dealt with immediately.
Junior Athletes
If you are using this site and are linked in to your coach through their ‘training camp’ area then you will be able to benefit from the regular communication about your goals and programme. To work well and on an ongoing basis, however, you should remember that both you and your coach have a right to be treated fairly. As such remember the following:
Finally remember that as an under 18 your parents/guardian will have had to approve your registration and will have a copy of your username and password. So they will be able to access your site at any time.
Coaches
The great benefit of this site is that it will allow you to monitor your athletes’ goals and update them online. However, when people communicate through websites there are many examples of how there is a tendency to forget normal professional and personal boundaries. We just wanted to remind you that this has happened on lots of occasions – as it just takes one unprofessional comment to permanently damage your career and reputation.
Parents
In signing your child up to this site you have agreed to the terms and conditions. In the terms and conditions you are accepting your responsibility to monitor your child’s activity on the site. We do not regularly monitor content and communication in user’s personal areas and are not responsible for what is written there. As parents/guardians you need to check on a regular basis that your child is not placing any inappropriate content on the site. You also need to check that your child is not encouraging or being encouraged to enter into any inappropriate communication with another user (such as their coach) that has access to their athlete area.
