IMPORTANT: All coaches have had DBS checks carried out by KBYA and all lead coaches have completed a ‘Child Protection In Sport’ Safeguarding course through NSPCC. Safety of children is extremely important and we ensure parents/guardians that those volunteers we have coaching youth players have met the requirements to do so. For more information on the safeguarding course, please see here: https://learning.nspcc.org.uk/training/child-protection-safeguarding-sport
