Hi, In the last couple of weeks, a group of young people (about 13-14 years old) have turned out to watch DUFFA playing in Manchester. Last week we gave them a disc and a few pointers, and they arrived yesterday keen to play a game. A few of the DUFFA members got them started in a parallel, and apparently they were doing really well. We obviously want to encourage them, but are a bit wary of the insurance and legal implications of having juniors joining in with training and games. We have a fair few teachers and youthworkers etc in DUFFA, and so several people who have been CRB checked, but also many who haven't. Has anyone else experienced anything similar, or does anyone have any advice for us? Thanks Jane
