Crowborough Tennis and Squash Club recognises the importance of protection against the potential harmful effects of the sun.

While this is relevant to all players, it is particularly important for our junior members.

We recommend reading and following the Outdoor Kids Sun Safety Code.

Download the Safety Code Ok Kids Sun Safety

The following simple guidance is extracted from that code:

Clothing is the best form of defence - children should wear long sleeved shirts, caps and sunglasses
We recommend the use of SPF30+ sunscreen - don't forget the hard to reach places
All children should bring water bottles and should be encouraged to drink regularly
Avoid playing in extremes of heat, for example temperatures over 30C
Look out for signs of heat exhaustion - fatigue, dizziness, headache, nausea or hot, red and dry skin.

Coaches should lead by example.

The following is guidance to coaching staff on ways to help get the message across:

Read the Outdoor Kids Sun Safety Code yourself, and lead by example
Pay special attention to children with disabilities and learning difficulties
Talk about sun protection in a positive, engaging and fun way
Have a Q&A session, asking kids what they know about the sun
Clothing and eye protection should be the first line of defence
Remember the "hard-to-get-to" places - backs of knees; ears; eye area; neck and nose; scalp
Remind kids that they can burn even on cloudy days in summer - yes this can happen in Crowborough..!
