GREENWOOD ATHLETIC AND TENNIS CLUB YOUTH POLICY
Greenwood Athletic and Tennis Club encourages members to use the club as a family. For safety reasons and to respect the rights of all members, Greenwood has established the following youth policy as dictated by the American College of Sports Medicine, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the National Strength and Conditioning Association, all of whom support children’s participation in “appropriately designed and competently supervised programs”.

GATC offers a variety of such programming for our youth members. While the club provides direct supervision for children during scheduled program times, it is the parents’ responsibility to escort children to and from each activity. Parents are directly responsible for their children’s behavior in all areas of the club.

When adult supervision is required, they must be in direct visual and speaking contact (same proximity, same activity) and the responsible, supervising adult must be 18 years of age or older.
