Club Greenwood 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”.
Club Greenwood 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, or a family nanny, or youth certified sibling (same family) 16-17 years old.
The term Adult Supervision refers to a supervising adult being 16 years of age or older (same family) or nanny and requires youth under age 13 and 13-15 year-olds without Youth Certification to be in direct visual and speaking contact (same proximity, same activity) with the responsible, supervising adult.
The term Youth Certification refers to a required educational session to be completed with a Club Assistant at Club Greenwood in order for a 13 to 15-year-old to have access to the club independently.
