General Guidelines

General
Care will be taken and maintained to ensure the safe-being and sensitive development of each member, consistent with his or her assessed ability.

Qualified Coaches will be in place at all times, and approved safety equipment will be employed where appropriate. The Coaches will not normally provide one to one coaching, and may direct the activities through a more senior Ministry Of Air member.

Members
After demonstration of competency, commitment and aptitude towards Ministry Of Air and its goals, children will be invited to join as full Members, and will be expected to compete at an appropriate level.
Performance related Coaching will be provided that is relevant to this level of commitment.

The competency is assessed against specific skills and skill combinations, and competition style routines. We look for satisfactory progress towards Ministry Of Air Proficiency Award 4.

Parents
Any parental concerns relating to their child should be discussed with a Coach in attendance in the first instance or with Ministry Of Air Management. We regard such concerns as a priority, and will involve all Coaches at the earliest opportunity.

Coaches
Ministry Of Air thrives and builds through the immense personal commitments made by all our Coaches. Ministry Of Air policy is to always ensure that Coaches are involved with, and agree with, all Ministry Of Air activities at every level prior to discussion with the competitive members.
