Please note that prospective members who have had trials in February and March will get offers to join within the next 2 weeks and are welcome to fill in the booking form.(Required.)
2.Please read the website page "Juniors Training at Leos 2026"
http://valleystriders.org.uk/new/juniors-training-at-leos-2026/

I have read the booking / confirmation / cancellation procedures and that if I don't confirm by 2pm Tuesday I may lose my place and that if I cancel after 2pm Tuesday I will get a lower priority for the next session that I've booked.
  • I understand that I am responsible for assuring myself of the welfare of my child during the session.
  • Before the session I will check whether my child needs to use the toilet. (It significantly disrupts the session if a child needs to go to the toilet during the session as the parent or two other adults must accompany them.)
  • I will deliver my child to their leader.
  • If I am late, I will supervise my children going across to the field because of the dangers of cars coming in to / going out of the car park.
  • I may stay in my car but if so, I will let their leader know when I hand over my child and inform them where I will be onsite and also fill in the form by the clubhouse with my phone number, the make, colour and registration number of my car and which car park I am parked in. THIS IS NOW MANDATORY AS PART OF OUR STANDARD SAFETY PROCEDURES.
  • If I have to go offsite I will nominate another parent to be responsible for my child. I will let the leader know who it is and will fill in my details on the form by the clubhouse.
  • I will be at the edge of the rugby field / athletics track before the end of the session to collect my child.
  • I won't let my child run ahead of me back to the car park because of the dangers of cars coming in to / going out of the car park.

3.Please read the website page "Juniors Training at GSAL 2026"
http://valleystriders.org.uk/new/juniors-training-at-gsal-2026/

I have read the booking / confirmation / cancellation procedures and that if I don't confirm by 2pm Tuesday I MAY LOSE MY PLACE and that if I cancel after 2pm Tuesday I will get a lower priority for the next session that I've booked.
  • Parents may only bring more than 2 children if all of the children are their own (this is to ensure good parent to child ratios; this rule may be overriden at a later date).
  • No dogs allowed anywhere on site.
  • In term time, parents may not arrive on site before 5:50pm.
  • All parents must park in the staff car park - turn left at barrier at end of drive).
  • In no circumstances may parents drive their cars along the service road to the athletics track, not even for drop off.
  • All children, whatever their age, and even if late arrivals, must walk from the car park to the athletics track accompanied by their parent/guardian for the night. Anyone not doing this puts themselves at risk and also is breaking the terms of our agreement and risk assessment so puts at risk the rest of our sessions for the summer.
  • Before the session parents should check whether their child needs to use the toilet. (It significantly disrupts the session if a child needs to go to the toilet during the session as the parent or two other adults must accompany them). The toilets are at the far end of the sprint track, turn right and walk alongside the tennis courts.
  • There will be a briefing for group leaders before the groups are "open" for children to join.
  • Until the groups are "open", parents are still responsible for their children - who, in the meantime, must not play on the gym equipment, go into the woods or run on the track.
  • Parents must hand over their child/children to the correct "Main Group Leader" who will obtain the name and contact details.
  • Parents may not go back to their cars unless they have permission from the "Main Group Leader" and then only if it is to pick up forgotten items e.g. water bottles.
  • Parents must be available to help, either generally as a group assistant or activity assistant ...
    ... or specifically looking after their own child/ren including, if required, taking their child/ren to the toilet or applying first aid.
  • Parents not allocated to a group or activity must stay by the side of the track while activities are taking place in case your child needs attention.
  • At the end of the session, parents must collect their children...
    ... and then walk, with their children, back to their cars
