As with other sports, the YCL has a strict safety code.
All youth sports involve some level of risk and have the possibility of injury.
Injury prevention is based on the right equipment and the right training. Both are key to any well-run sports program. Any time you get on a bike, even for recreation, there's a risk of an accident. Following safety rules will reduce the risk, but there will always be a risk. The penalty for violating the rules may include dismissal from the program.
