 Kelowna City FC - Coach/Athlete Communication Policies 

Kelowna City FC follows the Canada Soccer Rule of Two Policy. All interactions with athletes should follow the KCFC - Rule of Two Policy, which is available on the website. 

This addendum deals specifically with electronic communications and policies. 

This document assumes that Rule of Two guidelines are being followed for in-person interactions 

Electronic Communication Guidelines 

1. KCFC Staff have been instructed to NOT have 1 on 1 electronic communication with minor players. In any instance where a player contacts a staff member directly and without a 3rd party (parent, other KCFC staff member) on the communication, the Staff member shall respond to the communication, copying a 3rd party on the message for transparency 
2. Direct communication between athletes & staff (assuming the 3rd party is included) should be communicated to the player's parent and/or guardian for information purposes. The exception to this is if there is a player safety issue concerning the parent/guardian, but in this case a club executive member should be included on communications for transparency. 
3. Any communication between players and staff should be limited to coaching/team/club matters and non-social interactions. 
4. Direct Social Media communication between athletes and staff is prohibited. This refers to ‘DM’s, etc’
