FAQ's

Do all players in all age groups require a parent/support worker
on the field?
Yes, at this point all age groups require a parent/guardian or support worker to stay at the field and they may required to helpfrom time to time. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, KMBA is not allowed to provide buddies this year.

Can my child's sibling without special needs participate as in past years?
Due to keeping numbers low we are not allowing any siblings without cognitive or physical disabilities to participate this year.

My child can not wear a mask, can they still participate?
Masks are not mandatory when outside. Athletes and adults do have the option to wear a mask if they feel more comfortable. Should they become mandatory outside, exceptions will be made for those unable to wear masks for safety reasons.

My child is close to the age cut off for one group, can I move them to the older group if they have played before and want to be with friends or other siblings with disabilities.
Due to small groups etc we will have to look at requests on a case-by-case basis depending on registration and space available in each group.
