Safety Protocols

GAB Sports follows clear safety protocols to protect every child and give families confidence in the program.

Background Checks

All coaches and key volunteers complete a background check before participating with players.

Volunteer coaches receive program orientation, MLS GO program materials, and age-appropriate coaching guidance.

Every session has a documented EAP covering injury response, emergency contacts, and field evacuation.

First aid kits are on site at every session. Designated adults are responsible for first response.

Any suspected head injury follows a remove-from-play-and-evaluate protocol, with written follow-up to parents.

Sessions are paused or cancelled per lightning and severe weather safety guidelines, with parent communication by text and email.

Weekly schedule updates by email and text from team coordinators. Field changes communicated as soon as confirmed.

Organized check-in and check-out with designated family viewing area.
