WORKING WITH CHILDREN'S CHECKS

All persons backstage in your dressing room require a WWCC. This is your responsibility and you must wear your card whilst backstage. We will provide langyards for this.  We will be conducting spot checks throughout our comps to ensure clubs are complying. 

COACHES PASSES

Coach passes will be allocated based on coaches listed on entries. This pass allows coaches access to the audience.  All other coaches wishing to go into the audience must have a ticket (at child's price)

PROGRAMS

Our programs will be published on our website prior to your competition. There will be limited amounts available at the competition, so we would strongly advise to print your own, as to not be disappointed.  Changes to programs are not permitted.

SPORTSMANSHIP AGREEMENT

As we share the venues with other performing groups, it is imperative that all teams adhere to the following

· All competitors must be covered when leaving dressing rooms. 

· Please be respectful of the venue, which includes their staff.

· Please refrain from using inappropriate language

Venues have advised us that if this is not adhered to, they can ask the team to leave the venue.

VOLUNTEERS

We are always looking for volunteers to assist us with the running of the comps. If you can spare a morning or afternoon, please let us know!
