[Loch-Ruadh] Change to Youth Boffer and Chivalric Program

[Steve K. Rourke]

With the new Participants Manual being available, there have been a few changes made to the Youth Boffer and Chivalric Program. The biggest change is that the youth now no longer needs to have the parent present, there can be a designated adult. The following is excerpted from the manual, as Lord Alric has already posted the links to the manual.

E. Parents/ Legal Guardians Responsibilities

1. Parents/legal guardians must retain the right and ability to sign a Minor's Consent to

Participate form for a designated adult. A "legal guardian" is defined as an adult that has

court documentation of guardianship.

2. Parents/legal guardians are to understand this is a contact sport and that injuries may

occur.

3. At least one parent/legal guardian or a designated adult must be present at all times

while the child is engaged in Boffer activities (official fighter practice, tournament, melee).

"Designated adult" is defined as an adult appointed by the parent/legal guardian. The

designated adult must be carded as Adult Boffer/Chivalric Marshal, have a copy of the

parent/legal guardian's authorization card for Youth Combat, and a Minor's Consent to

Participate form. "Present" is defined as within visual and vocal range of their child, and

actively attentive to the Boffer activity. (Note: This does not mean 100 yards away, but in

close proximity to the Boffer field.) The child or Marshal(s) on the field should be able to

find the parent/legal guardian immediately.

4. The parent/legal guardian or designated adults present is to have the child's authorization

card in his/her possession at all times when Boffer activities (official fighter practice,

tournament, melee) are occurring.

5. Parents/legal guardians or designated adults are to behave in a courteous and

responsible manner at all times.

6. Parents/legal guardians or designated adults are responsible for their child's safety, with

the Adult Boffer Marshals guiding the armoring/safety process.

7. Parents/legal guardians or designated adults are required to read and understand these

rules and standards and are to make sure that their child follows them.
