Code of conduct Volleybalvereniging Van Slag

At V.V. Van Slag we love sporting and cosiness. To guarantee a good atmosphere it is very important that everyone has a good understanding with each other, both inside as outside the court. Physical and social safety are of importance. Creating a safe environment for our members is certainly not only about the match- or training area; we want that our members feel safe everywhere. This includes the facilities of the sport centre Olympos, the sports bar included, plus the associations' activities and other events organized by V.V. Van Slag.
Therefore, V.V. Van Slag has composed a code of conduct which is mainly based on the code of conduct for sporters of the Centrum Veilige Sport Nederland (Centre of Safe Sports Netherlands).

The Van Slagger:
