Terms & Conditions

1. Parents’ Guide

The following pages are designed to provide parents and guardians with information about Class Hockey’s Safeguarding policies, our terms and conditions and other general information about our camps.

2. Safety Policy

Your child’s safety and security are given the highest priority on all of our camps. Children are supervised at all times including break and lunch times. The pick-up and drop-off procedures are strictly followed because they have been designed with your child’s safety as paramount. Your child will be asked to sign a register on arrival. Class Hockey Camps will always have a first-aid trained member of staff on site.

3. Medical information

Please tell us at the time of booking if there is anything we need to know about your child’s health (including any medical, physical or behavioural issues) and inform us of any activities your child may not be able to take part in. It is also essential that we know if they have any health challenges such as allergies, diabetes or epilepsy. All information given will be kept completely confidential.

4. Anaphylaxis and Epi-pens

Classhockey must be made aware if there is a child suffering from any allergies and carries an Epi-pen. We must be given written permission from the parent allowing us to administer treatment in an emergency. Children must bring their own Epi-pen with them. After injection we will always call 999 – even if the child recovers they will still need to be checked by medical staff. Following any such incident we will always inform the parent/carer.

5. Emergency Medical Treatment

In some cases we may need you to complete additional forms and provide further information. When signing your child up onto our camp you understand and accept that a first-aid trained member of the team may administer medical treatment or seek emergency medical advice should they need to. Parent/carers will be informed immediately in the event that emergency medical treatment or advice is required.

6. Food - Lunch and Snacks

Camp attendees are required to bring a packed lunch with them containing sufficient food and snacks to meet their dietary and energy requirements for the day / half-day.

7. Hydration

Participation in sport and activity, especially during warm months, means that there is a higher risk of dehydration. Children and coaches will need to drink more than they would normally. Drinks and snacks should be provided by parents for children throughout the day. Camp attendees should have a refillable water bottle with them and they will take it to the pitch with them and use it during breaks. Regular water breaks will be scheduled by staff based on the weather conditions. The hotter it is the more breaks will be scheduled and if children require or request extra water breaks they will be allowed to take them.

8. Hot Weather Policy

Children will not be exposed to excessive periods in the sun. However, bearing in mind that these camps take place outdoors, children will be exposed, to some degree, to the sun. Accordingly parents (and camp attendees) should take reasonable precautions to ensure that the effect of the sun is limited e.g. appropriate clothing, regularly applying sun cream and staying in the shade during drinks breaks. Staff will not apply sun cream under any circumstance but they will encourage children to apply it themselves at appropriate points in the day.

9. Mouthguards and Shinpads

Mouthguards and Shinpads must be worn at all times during training and match play.

10. Photography

When signing up to a Classhockey camp you will be asked permission for your child to be photographed and/or videoed for promotional material and to aid player development. You have the right to refuse such permission.

11. Booking and Payment Policy

Responsibility for all booking details lies with the parents when making the initial booking. Classhockey reserves the right to cancel or amend courses in exceptional circumstances. Payment for any course or camp with Classhockey must be made online via our website at the time of booking.

12. Cancellation Policy

You may cancel for any reason up to 4 weeks in advance of the starting date of your camp booking in order to receive a refund minus a 10% administrative charge. In the event that we are forced to cancel any camps due to bad weather or coach illness we will refund your money in full.

13. Cancellation due to Illness or Injury

During the camp or within 4 weeks of the start date of a camp, if your child is unable to attend due to illness or injury (where such illness or injury is validated by a doctor’s note) will refund in full less the days already attended, minus a 10% administrative charge. If no doctor’s note can be given then we are unable to provide a refund.

14. Insurance

For the avoidance of doubt Class Hockey’s individual coaches are personally insured through England Hockey. For more information please see the following link:

15. Complaints Procedure

Classhockey is committed to ensuring your child has an outstanding experience on our camps. If you are not satisfied with the service we provide, then we want to know. If your child is still at the camp we can almost always resolve any problem. If we hear of a problem after the camp we will take great care to look into the matter but are unable to provide compensation. Please talk to a member of the coaching team promptly if you have any concerns. Your complaint will be taken very seriously and dealt with swiftly.
