In the event of a player injury occurring during a training session, injuries should be reported in writing by the Coach or Team Manager to a Committee Member in accordance with points 1) and 2) above.
NOTE: Please be advised that an injured player must be a paid member for the current season to be covered by insurance.
Only one claim form per injury is required. A claim form should be completed and submitted as soon as it is made aware that the injured person will be making a claim. There is no need to wait until after treatment of the injury has been completed to lodge the claim form.
