Rule of Two

The ‘Rule of Two’

The ‘Rule of Two’ outlines that there will always be at least two screened coaches/adults (one of which must also be of the same gender) with an athlete, especially a minor athlete, when in a potentially vulnerable situations. This means that any one-on-one interaction between a coach and an athlete must take place within earshot and view of the second coach/adult (with the exception of medical emergencies). Vulnerable situations can include closed doors meetings, travel, and training environments amongst others.
