Importance of Safety
Waiver & Liability
At Lace Up with Lucy, athlete safety and well-being are our top priorities. Before participating in any netball coaching sessions, clinics, or training programs, it is essential that all participants (or their legal guardians) understand and acknowledge the physical nature of netball performance. This waiver ensures that both the coach and the athlete are aligned on safety protocols and liability coverage, allowing us to focus entirely on building skills and confidence on the court.
COACHING WAIVER & LIABILITY
To ensure a safe and professional environment for all athletes, we require a signed waiver prior to participation in any netball coaching sessions. This helps us manage risks and focus on skill development.
