The Club works to ensure the safety and well being of each and every player and coach, at every playing and training venue.
The Club does not have the personnel or resources to provide a qualified first aid practitioner at every playing or training venue. However, the Club is committed to ensuring that suitably designated club officials (coaches and team managers) are present at each venue when playing or training occurs.
The Club seeks to ensure that players, coaches and team managers are provided with an awareness of safety practices as part of their personal development.
Coaches and team managers in charge of players are expected to use their best endeavours at all times, particularly in emergencies, to secure the welfare of players at the Club. It is worthwhile to remember that, in general, the consequences of taking no action are likely to be more serious than those of trying to assist in an emergency.
All players are insured for injury through the McKinnon Basketball Association.
If players are injured at a McKinnon Basketball Association competition or program, refer to the MBA’s Injury Portal for further guidance.
