Where it starts.

Each project arrives with its purpose, milestones and first tasks written out. Here is how the first three read.

Choosing a club that fits your child

Clubs differ far more than their websites suggest: some play every child equal minutes, others select from the age of nine, some train once a week and others expect three evenings and a weekend. Visiting two or three before signing up, and asking the same questions at each, puts your child somewhere they will enjoy and you can sustain for a full season.

First tasks

  • List every club for your child's sport and age within 30 minutes of home
  • Book taster sessions at the two or three that fit your week
  • Ask each club about playing time, welfare officer, fees and commitment
  • Ask your child which session they enjoyed most and why
  • Confirm the place and note the start date and first payment

Registration, consent and medical forms filed

Every club needs a registration form, emergency contacts, consent for photos and transport, and a note of any medical condition such as asthma, an allergy or epilepsy. Filling them in properly once, and keeping copies, means a coach on a cold touchline at an away ground knows who to call and what your child needs.

First tasks

  • Ask the club secretary for every form a new player needs
  • Write medical conditions and medicines in plain words on the form
  • Choose your photo and transport consent options on purpose
  • Save a copy of each submitted form in a family folder
  • Update medical details and emergency contacts with the club @recurring(yearly)

Safeguarding basics before the first session

Before you leave your child with adults you have just met, it is reasonable to know who the club's welfare officer is, whether coaches have had background checks, and how coaches are expected to message young players. A parent who knows the rules can spot when something is off and knows exactly who to tell.

First tasks

  • Find the club welfare officer's name and number and save it in your phone
  • Read the club safeguarding policy and parent code of conduct
  • Ask how coaches contact players and whether parents are copied in
  • Talk with your child about who they can tell if something feels wrong
  • Check the welfare contact details are still current at the start of each season @recurring(yearly)
