Junior Activities
This section explains the protocols and policies for NCFCA Juniors when they participate in activities while their parents are working in staff positions or judging.
Junior Activities Overview
The goal of NCFCA Junior activities is to encourage purposeful, educational, social, and service-oriented endeavors that allow our future competitors to be more fully engaged in the tournament. The NCFCA Juniors program provides three types of activities. At least two junior team members will be directly responsible for oversight of the children during all Junior activities.
Junior Participant Supervision Guidelines
As outlined in the NCFCA Safety Policy, children under 12 must under the direct supervision of their parent or designated adult unless they are involved in scheduled Junior Activities or Juniors Tournament. Parents must take responsibility for their children immediately at the end of the Junior Activities session and/or Juniors Tournaments.
Junior Activities Participation
For Junior Activity Programs – Parents of junior students must complete a Junior Program Participation Agreement and submit it to the Junior Activities Lead prior to their child’s participation. Children who wish to participate in Junior Activities must be mature enough to be away from their chaperone for the duration of the round, participate in the activities, and must be able to use the restroom independently.Â
Check-in and Check-out Process
All children must be checked in and checked out by parents or other previously designated individuals. Upon check in, they must indicate where they will be and who will be picking up the child. All children will wear name tags during the entire time they are checked in. No child will be released to anyone other than individuals previously designated by the parent(s).
