Youth Authorization Procedures

Procedure for a Youth Combat Authorization:

A Youth attempting to authorize will bring the MOL their:

• Consent to Participate Post Card (Yellow) as proof that their paper work is on file with me
• Youth Combat Check List Which their parent must sign and date at the conclusion of a successful authorization.
• Parent(s) Currently, Parents must be on site in order for their children to participate in the Youth Combat Program.

The Youth will then fill out (with parental assistance) his Youth VOA and Youth Temp Cards.

The Youth may then attempt authorization.

Failed authorizations should have all forms with the exception of the VOA and Temp cards returned. The VOAs and temp cards of children who fail to complete authorizations should be destroyed just like adults.

MOLs will submit the following items for a successful Youth Combatant Authorization

• Youth Combat Check List
• Youth VOA
• Youth Temp Card
• $2.00

• Do NOT take up the Consent to Participate Post Card as it can be used as proof of waiver on file for the Youth who are not members of the SCA.
• A Youth Combat Authorization will be handled using the same procedure as an adult authorization with the exception that the cost for Youth Authorizations will be $2.00 and no waiver will need to be signed because one is already on file.

What do I do for a Youth Combat Practice at an event?

Youth Combat may hold practices at events. For a Practice an MOL must verify the Youth has a Permission to Practice Post Card and write down the names of the individuals participating. A Youth Combat MOL report should be mailed to the KMOL for any event where Youth Combat (Practice or Tourney) takes place.

Do kids have to sign the waiver and pay $1.00 if they aren’t members?

Youth with a Youth Combat Authorization Card (like the adults only green) who do not have a current SCA membership must have their parents sign a waiver for them. Execute these waivers at NO COST.

Youth with a Permission to Practice Post Card (yellow) are not required to have a waiver signed for them.

If you are unsure, err on the side of caution and have the parents sign a wavier.
