Medical Information

Please detail in writing to Blackrock A.C. by email and directly to your child’s coach any important medical information that our coaches/junior coaches should be aware of, e.g., epilepsy, asthma, diabetes, heart conditions, allergies, etc.

It is essential for your child’s safety that coaches are fully aware and have been informed of your child’s medical conditions and it is your responsibility to do so. Coaches change so you must ensure your child’s coaches have been informed.

This must be done as well as completing the medical consent section on Clubforce App.

Additional Support

Please also detail any additional needs your child may have and/or any additional support he/she may require from our club coaches. Please also provide other information on other issues that could affect your child’s performance e.g. previous injuries, dyspraxia, etc.
