Virtual Safety
Procedures to follow while utilizing virtual training:
- All parents/guardians must be informed and approve of the virtual training, meeting or coaching session via waiver or email confirmation.
- Virtual trainings must be “observable and interruptible”, able to be ended at any time and have at least 2 adults (coach and 1 other) on each session.
- Parents and guardians must be provided the code or link to join all virtual sessions.
- If a minor athlete sends a video to a coach for feedback or additional coaching, the reply must include the parent, guardian or other applicable adult.
JVA Insurance
JVA Program Insurance Covers Virtual Training
Many clubs have implemented virtual training with their teams during the shutdown due to COVID-19. We would like JVA clubs with program insurance to know that their club and teams will be able to utilize “virtual” training as part of the JVA Insurance program. The coverage remains the same.
Recommendations:
- Live stream virtual classes so participants can been engaged with the instructor
- Only offer instruction in the classes or sports activities listed on your application
- Make sure every parent or legal guardian has signed a waiver (Release of liability and medical release waiver forms)
- Instruct participants to clear the area used for instruction of any hazardous objects or obstacles before starting the virtual class
