PROCEDURES FOR WEDNESDAY WELL–BEING CLUB

ABOUT US
The Wednesday Well-Being Club is part of the Guernsey Walking Football Club. The club
has recently been granted Sportsmark Accreditation. Walking Football was set up to offer
FUN, FRIENDSHIP & FITNESS and the Well-Beings session was set up to help players who
cannot play in the main session due to health issues or who are seeking a return to fitness
after incurring an injury. We cater for people who have for example, Parkinsons, Heart
issues, Balance issues, Cancer recovery and Mental Health issues.
The sessions are held at KGV Playing Field, Rue Cohu, Castel, GY5 7SZ every Wednesday
12.00pm to 1.00pm. After the session teas & coffees are served allowing players to
socialize.
PRIOR TO JOINING THE SESSION
We provide a Health Disclaimer Form which needs to be completed before joining our
session. This is required so that the coaches have full details of issues the prospective
player has, this includes illness, drugs taken and restrictions to participation. Once the
Medical Disclaimer has been signed by the player saying they are fit and able to take part
in the session all responsibility is theirs and not the clubs.
If they have been told of the session by Physiotherapists and they are aware of restrictions
of movement or balance that the player has, we would appreciate a note explaining what
exercise can be safely undertaken.
THE SESSION
All participants of the session have to have an initial assessment before any activity is
undertaken. If after the assessment, the coaches think this activity is not for the
participant, they are within their rights to deny membership.
If the player is bought to the session by a carer that carer is required to stay on site for the
duration.
Players will only be passed to the Walking Football session once the assessment coaches
are happy it is within their capabilities.
If an attendee is not feeling well or is having issue with medication, please tell the coaches
prior to the session and a decision will be made as to whether they can join in.
If any of the player’s medication changes a new Medical Disclaimer needs to be filled in.
The coaches are First Aid trained and there is a defibrillator on site.
