SAY requires no less than two adults (suggested as unrelated), per team, to be present at all team functions such as games, practices, social events, etc.
Notes:
- The adults assigned can be a combination of coaches, parents/guardians/caregivers, board members, etc...
- While the focus of this policy is the child it also provides protection for the volunteers in case of misunderstandings.
- It is important that your area review your policy on car-pooling. SAY National has for a long time recommended that volunteers not provide transportation for non-family members. This was more of an insurance issue but now has implications in regards to the intent of the "Times Two" policy.
Failure to implement the "Times Two" program may adversely impact your areas liability insurance coverage.Practices, team events, etc... MUST be cancelled if there are not at least two adults present. Please remind your parents/guardians/caregivers of this so as to prevent unnecessary cancellations.
If a player must be escorted to a bathroom, water fountain, etc.. please bring another adult or player with. You should NEVER be alone with a child (except for your own).
