Permission and competent planning
Obtain landowner permission and check local requirements before marking a pitch, erecting posts or hosting spectators. A rugby ground is not automatically suitable for Campball simply because it has uprights.
The responsible organiser must assess the actual site, activity and participants and provide appropriate insurance, first aid, emergency access and an emergency plan. These website pages do not certify a venue.
Pitch dimensions and run-off space
Use the published full-size or smaller-ground specification applicable to your format. Do not guess dimensions from artwork or shrink a layout outside an approved format.
Check clear run-off areas, secure and suitable posts, padding where required, surface condition and separation from buildings, fences, roads and spectators. Keep spectators outside the playing and run-off areas and emergency routes clear. The site assessment must determine safe separation, rather than treating a decorative image as a plan.
Equipment, weather and supervision
Use suitable, maintained equipment and the ball specification required by the applicable rules. Inspect the pitch and equipment before play. Provide competent supervision suited to the ages, abilities and format.
Plan for heat, cold, lightning, slippery ground and poor visibility. Stop or postpone activity when conditions or equipment are unsafe. Do not use an animation or generated image as instruction for a dangerous technique.
Injuries and suspected concussion
Stop play for an injury and seek appropriate assistance. For suspected concussion, remove the person from play immediately and do not allow same-day return. Follow current UK grassroots concussion guidance and obtain medical advice; return to sport requires the appropriate recovery process.
In an emergency, call the local emergency service. In the UK call 999 or 112. This page is not a diagnosis or an individual return-to-play assessment.
Reporting hazards
Tell the responsible organiser promptly about hazards, near misses or injuries. Record incidents securely and only share personal details with those who need them. For concerns about website guidance contact legal@snuffleruff.com.
