Kiama is lucky that we have open areas around our courts however we still need to be mindful of a few things:
- Do not sending girls to the toilets by themselves (especially once it starts to get dark)
- Coaches/managers should never leave until the last girl has been picked up
- Parents should either stay at the courts for training or make sure that they are back in time to pick up their children
- Have a way for contacting coaches/managers/parents in the event that training is cancelled or finishes early
- Report any suspicious persons hanging around the courts or taking photos
