PSC KidSafe Program
 

Today seems like a good day to review PYSC-CTYSF Risk Management.  Actually let's discuss child molestation prevention.  All the other PYSC Risk Management areas (severe weather, financial, disputes, facilities, first aid, travel guidelines, and more) are detailed in PYSC's Risk Management plan from 2006, posted here: http://www.pikesoccerclub.org/RiskManagementPlan1106.pdf  and on PYSC's Risk page here:  

http://www.pikeyouthsoccerclub.org/risk.html

 

Here's the bottom line, no matter how proactive your parent run soccer club is on prevention,  'PARENTS are the primary advocates for their children. No rule, law, or policy can replace a proactive parent.'  Please never leave your children unsupervised.
