Druk-Yul VolleyballPerth, Western Australia Register

Injury Policy

Volleyball is a physical, competitive sport. Every player and coach who registers with Druk-Yul Volleyball must read and agree to this policy.

1. Risk of injury

Playing volleyball involves jumping, diving, fast movement and contact with the ball, the floor, the net and other players. Injuries can happen even when everyone plays safely and follows the rules. These include sprains, strains, finger and hand injuries, cuts, bruises, fractures and, rarely, more serious injuries.

2. You take part at your own risk

By registering, you confirm that you take part voluntarily and that you accept the risk of injury. If you are injured while training, playing or travelling to or from Druk-Yul Volleyball activities, you are responsible for your own medical treatment, ambulance, recovery and other costs.

To the extent allowed by law, Druk-Yul Volleyball, its committee, coaches and volunteers are not responsible for any injury, loss or damage you suffer while taking part, including loss of or damage to personal belongings.

3. Your health and fitness

  • Only play if you are fit and well enough to do so.
  • Tell your coach or captain before playing about any medical condition, injury or medication that could affect you or others.
  • Warm up before playing, wear suitable shoes and sportswear, and use any protective gear you need, such as knee pads.
  • Stop playing and tell your coach or captain straight away if you feel unwell or get hurt.

4. Insurance

We strongly recommend that every player has private health insurance and ambulance cover. In Western Australia, ambulance call-outs can be expensive if you are not covered.

5. Playing safely

  • Follow the Season 3 rules and regulations, the referees, and the instructions of coaches and venue staff.
  • Respect other players. Dangerous or reckless play is not allowed.
  • Do not play under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

6. If an injury happens

First aid will be given where it is available. In an emergency, call 000. Please report every injury to your coach or the committee as soon as possible so it can be recorded.

7. Players under 18

If you are under 18, a parent or guardian must read this policy and agree to it on your behalf before you register.

8. Your rights under the law

Nothing in this policy removes any right you have under Australian law that cannot be excluded, including under the Australian Consumer Law.
