| Coaching of
children |

All our coaches and volunteers will adhere to the
code of ethics and good practice as established by the Irish Cricket
Union.
Sport can have a very powerful and positive influence on young
people and
should provide opportunities for both enjoyment and achievement.
Through sport young people can develop valuable qualities such as
leadership, confidence and self-esteem.
These positive outcomes can only be achieved by providing coaching
of the highest standard and that will be the aim of the Club at all
times so that our members can enjoy sport within a safe and secure
environment. We also aim to provide them with positive sporting
experiences that will enable them to achieve their true potential.
As required we have
appointed
Ms. Martina Toner as our child protection Officer for 2006.
Martina can be contacted at: 28 Tritonville Road, Sandymount,
Dublin 4, Tel. 660 8412 if you have any queries in this regard
