FAQ ZERO! CLINICS

When participating in a ZERO! Clinic there are of course still questions from parents / participants, in our FAQ (below) we have answered as many of those questions as possible.

If your question is not listed, feel free to send an email to info@zphs.nl

​

• Are you always available?

  • During the clinics we are available 24 hours a day for emergencies.

  • The BMHV can be reached during the clinics on telephone number 035 541 4540

  • ZERO! ParaHockey Foundation supervisors can be reached on telephone number 0654 222 340

• My child has a peculiarity? Can he/she join the clinic?

  • Children with special needs such as ADHD, autism, asthma or certain allergies can join us at our camps. Please indicate this clearly when registering. For children who require a lot of extra individual attention and guidance, it is useful to contact us by telephone in advance.

• My child is on medication, how do you deal with this?

  • Preferably, the medicines are delivered to the Supervisor. This will ensure that the medicines are taken at the right times. If your child manages the medication himself, the staff cannot check whether the medication is being taken.

• Can my child sign up for a clinic alone?

  • Much of the ZERO! Clinics participants come alone so that's no problem! Our clinics are structured in such a way that everyone gets to know each other well from the start of the clinic.

• My child is just too young for the clinic where his friends are going, can he still come?

  • The age limit is generally determined by the experience, physical strength and perception of the child. In consultation between the staff of the ZERO! Clinics and parents will make a decision.

• How are the children classified?

  • We always look at the individual wishes of the children. It can be indicated on the registration form with whom they want to join the group. If you do not enter anything here, we will classify the children by level and age as much as possible. If it turns out at the start or during the clinic that they are not in the right group, they can always be switched.

• My son/daughter would like to join a boyfriend/girlfriend in the group, is this possible?

  • The group division is made on the basis of age and level. On the registration form you can indicate with whom your son/daughter wants to join the group. Did the boyfriends/girlfriends sign up later? You can always send an email to info@zphs.nl with the names your son/daughter wants to join the group.

• Can the children bring a mobile phone to the clinic?

  • We strongly advise against bringing mobile phones and/or valuables to the clinic. (The Supervisor telephone can be used by the participants to call home if necessary).

  • But because the lives of the children often take place on social media, the children are allowed to bring their mobile phones to the clinic. Only at set times is one allowed to use the mobile phone. So not while eating, on the hockey fields, but making friends for half an hour and, for example, sharing photos with the home is possible. Of course you can, but you don't have to!

  • If the items are taken with you, this is at your own risk. However, there is a safe place where valuables can be deposited.
