THE GLOBE LAWN TENNIS CLUB

SUN SAFETY POLICY

The Globe LTC is committed to ensuring the safety and welfare of its members and visitors at all times. The Club’s Sun Safety Policy is part of this commitment. The Club ensures that the Policy is understood and adhered to by its members, coaches, volunteers and visiting players at all times.

Our Sun Safety commitment

-   We ask children to arrive sun protected and with SPF 30+ sun protection

-   We recommend players wear appropriate clothing (long sleeves, hats, wraparound sunglasses and long shorts)

-   We promote the importance of hydration, and ensure there are sufficient water breaks during coaching sessions and play

-   We recommend taking shade breaks as necessary

-   We spread the word on the importance of sun protection

-   We work with parents to help them support our sun protection efforts

-   We lead by example

- Coaches, adult members and parents endeavour to make sure that they are seen to be protecting themselves from the sun by applying sunscreen to themselves, dressing appropriately, remaining hydrated and avoiding extreme temperatures. Staff should check that everyone is protected before a session starts, and that sunscreen is reapplied as necessary.

-    We display sun safety guidance prominently in the Clubhouse
