Dress Code
Young people are encouraged to wear sports kit and casual clothing at Sports Plus and we ask that leaders and Development Squad wear appropriate clothing for a sports camp and consider what it means to be a good role model for the young people in this area. Please leave your strappy/low cut tops, short shorts and muscle vests at home. Also for guys, we run a ‘no tops off’ policy throughout the week.

• There will be core first aid provision available all week, staffed by a Medical Team. Additional first aiders will be appointed as House First Aiders, in each boarding house, and Pitch Side First Aiders for each sport.
• We ask that the Medical Team is not asked to treat injuries sustained prior to Sports Plus unless aggravated during the week.
• Where the injury or illness falls outside the scope of what our Medical Team can fully deal with the person in question will be taken to the local hospital or GP surgery.
• Please bring all medication (including paracetamol/ibuprofen) that would be needed during Sports Plus. Please ensure they are kept out of site in a safe place as bedrooms are not lockable.
• For the health and wellbeing of everyone on site, if you experience vomiting and/or diarrhoea prior to Sports Plus you must not attend until you are symptom free for 48hours.
• Due to some severe allergies if you are bringing any snacks please do not bring nuts or seeds.
• All catering is provided by the school who operate their own food allergy policies. Christians in Sport provide the catering staff with all information given to us in relation to allergies and dietary requirements for the school to cater accordingly.
