Youth (under age 18) may
participate in NCRC training events only if the following requirements are
met:
- The
youth must, in the opinion of the lead instructor, have sufficient
physical, emotional, and mental maturity to perform safely and
effectively as a member of the class.
- The
youth’s primary guardian(s) must sign the NCRC liability waiver in
the presence of the event’s lead instructor. If a primary guardian
cannot sign the course documentation in the presence of the lead
instructor, their signature must be notarized. The primary guardian(s)
must also provide the lead instructor with a medical status summary
and authorize NCRC to seek medical treatment for the youth if deemed
necessary.
- An
adult must accompany them in the class, in such a manner to ensure the
adult will be physically near the youth throughout the training
activities. Preferably the adult should be enrolled as a co-student,
but other arrangements may be allowed at the discretion of the lead
instructor. (An adult participating in another level or subgroup would
not qualify as an accompanying adult). If the accompanying adult is
not the youth’s primary guardian, the primary guardian must provide
the lead instructor with a written statement identifying the person
who will accompany the youth and designating him or her to act as
temporary guardian during the course. This statement must be signed in
the presence of the lead instructor or notarized.
