Injuries

It is very important that all injuries, even minor, are reported to the senior coach immediately. Coaches are equipped with first aid training and have a first aid kit at every session.

If your child’s CVI registration is not up to date and they sustain an injury, they will be uninsured. For peace of mind, please ensure this is paid ASAP.  Claims for accident insurance must be made directly to the insurance company. Claim forms can be obtained by phoning CVI. Claims should be lodged within four weeks of the injury.

If you require treatment from a physiotherapist, you require a referral from a doctor to claim accident insurance.  Obtain a written medical clearance to resume training, and keep your coach updated on your rehabilitation.

Being prepared and arriving on time for a thorough warm-up will help to prevent injuries.
