Female Playing Members
Banchory Boys Football Club encourages active female playing members, but for the protection of both the players and the coaches, they will be subject to additional guidelines and conditions:
Matches involving male and female players may be played as long as:
a) The League/Association of which the club is in membership and the appropriate Regional Committee must be informed in writing of a club’s wish to involve male and female players in the same team.
b) When male and female players are in the same team, there must be a female assigned parent / guardian present before any match is allowed to commence.
c) The club manager of any team wishing to play male and female players in the same team will be responsible for informing their opponents and checking if separate suitable facilities are available when arranging any match. On arrival at the match venue it is the manager / parent / guardian responsibility to check that the facilities are suitable before players are allowed to change. If no suitable facilities are available, it is the responsibility of the team containing female players to make alternative arrangements.
d) Officials and players of opposite gender are not permitted to be in the dressing room or immediate surrounds when players or officials of the opposite gender are not fully clothed. e) A qualified First Aider or a medically qualified person should only treat club members who receive injuries during any club activity.
