Clear rules,
honest care.

These Allergen and Safety Standards explain how Glovaro Academy handles health information, food and drink, allergens, and safe training. Glovaro Academy is a goalkeeper school at 84 River Rd, Walmer, Gqeberha, 6070, South Africa. We coach diving, handling, reflexes, distribution, and decision-making. We are not a hospital, a restaurant, or a medical practice. Notices can be sent to [email protected] or given by phone on +27720209595. The purpose is to give parents, adult keepers, and coaches the same clear rules before a session

starts. Please read them with the Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy. If a pitch rule on the day is stricter because of weather or an injury risk, the stricter rule applies for that session. Tell us before the first session about allergies, asthma, diabetes, concussion history, or any limit that could affect training. Include emergency contact names and numbers. Update the note if a diagnosis or a medication changes. Coaches use that information to adjust a drill, to know whom

to call, and to avoid a known trigger where we reasonably can. They do not use it to embarrass a keeper or to publish a medical story. A parent or guardian should complete the note for a young keeper. An adult keeper is responsible for the accuracy of their own note. Failure to disclose a serious risk can lead us to pause participation until we can train safely. We would rather delay a session than guess. The academy does not serve a

full public menu. Water is the normal drink during training. If a clinic, trial day, or trip includes a snack, we will say so in the joining note. Snacks may contain or have touched common allergens, including nuts, milk, eggs, wheat, soy, or seeds, unless the note says a specific item is separated. We cannot promise a commercial kitchen or a guaranteed allergen-free pitch. Keepers with severe allergies should bring their own labelled food and should not share bottles or snacks. Do

not bring nuts or nut spreads into a group if we have told that group that a participant has a severe nut allergy. Packaging can change. Read the label on anything you supply for a group. A coach will not invent an ingredient list. Latex, strapping tape, grass, insect bites, sunscreen, and disinfectant can also cause reactions. Tell us if contact with gloves, tape, or a particular surface is a problem. We use goalkeeper gloves and training aids that are standard for

the sport. We do not claim that every brand of glove is free of a particular material. Bring your own gloves if a clinician has told you to avoid a material, and show the coach the limitation before the warm-up. First-aid supplies on site are for immediate care, not for ongoing treatment. Keep prescribed inhalers, auto-injectors, or other personal medication with the keeper or the responsible adult, not locked in a car away from the pitch. Tell the coach where it is.

Training standards require suitable footwear, a clean bottle, and attention to the coach’s stop signal. Diving and shot-stopping involve contact with the ground and occasional contact with a ball at speed. We progress drills according to age and readiness. A keeper who is ill, concussed, or in pain should not train to prove toughness. Report a head impact immediately. We may require medical clearance before a return. Jewellery that can catch a glove or a finger should be removed. Instructions about the

penalty area, crossings, and one-on-one work are part of safety as well as technique. Do not use academy drills at home with traffic, hard walls, or unsupervised younger children. The website describes methods. It is not a remote medical or childcare service. We keep incident notes when an injury, allergic reaction, or near miss needs a record. Those notes include the time, what happened, and who was told. They are stored with limited access under the Privacy Policy. Serious emergencies are referred

to emergency services. We will try to reach the emergency contact without delay. A parent who cannot be reached should not assume that training will continue unchanged. Weather, lightning, extreme heat, and poor pitch surfaces can stop a session. The coach’s decision on that point is final for the day. Refunds or replacements for a stoppage we impose follow the Refund and Cancellation Policy. A keeper’s choice to skip a session is not the same as a safety stoppage. Behaviour that hides

an allergy, pressures another keeper to share food, or ignores a medical instruction is a breach of academy standards. Repeated breaches can end a booking. False or malicious complaints can also be acted on. A good-faith report of a hazard is welcome. Include the date, the drill, and what you saw. We review standards when equipment, groups, or the law changes. This version was updated in October 2026. Community members share the duty to keep the pitch calm and accurate. Coaches will

model the same standard. Visitors, including scouts or family spectators, follow staff direction and stay out of the active drill lane. We do not claim that training prevents allergies or cures asthma. We do not sell supplements. Parents remain responsible for meals outside the session. Use the admissions email for a health update so it is filed. Phone +27720209595 can be used when a session is imminent. Follow with an email so the record is complete. Standards apply to holiday clinics and

to regular weeks. A guest coach works under the same disclosure and emergency rules. Questions about allergens or these standards go to [email protected] or +27720209595 at 84 River Rd, Walmer, Gqeberha, 6070, South Africa. These standards support goalkeeper training. They do not replace advice from a doctor or an emergency service. If this page changes, the new date is the version to follow. Send an updated health note after a material change rather than assume we still hold last season’s information.
