Manly Roos Club Charter
A successful team and club culture doesn’t just happen. It relies on coaches, parents, managers and players all agreeing to some principles on how their team and club should work. These are the principles which we have adopted at the Manly Roos, and everyone can rely on their clubmates to uphold them. They have been developed with many years of experience on what makes for fun and successful teams. Each year at our AGM, we will test and if necessary update these principles.
Please see the Manly Roos Club Charter 2016

Injuries
Insurance – Details on the ARU policy and claims can be found here. It covers all injuries occuring in team-related activity, including training and tours.
Concussion – If a doctor, referee or first aid person says that a concussion has occured, the ARU Headsafe protocols rules apply. Key points are to stop playing immediately if concussion is a possibility, and if confirmed a player can only return to play after two weekends off and with a doctor’s certificate of clearance.
Injury notices to our Club – If a child is injured at all while playing or training with the Roos, please email us with the name, age, injury, whether an ambulance was called, and whether an insurance claim is being made.
Very serious injury. These are suspected spinal injuries and hospital admissions only (not just emergency department or ambulance treatments). For these rare cases, the ARU protocols are found here. Main steps are to notify call the ARU Hotline on 1800 036 156, and call the Roos President who will assist in completing the online serious injury form.
Working With Children Declaration
The NSW Working with Children Declaration is required for all coaches and managers at the Roos. Although not mandatory by law if you are coaching a team that your child is a member of, the Roos will require all coaches to undergo this check.
