2) RFA takes your security and safety very seriously, ensuring we create the best environment for you to achieve your football and academic goals. RFA monitors the safety of all players whilst at our training facilities and accommodation. We cannot ensure the safety outside of these premises and players are urged to practise caution and self awareness to keep themselves safe.

7) RFA would like to make it clear that responsibility for student’s personal belongings rests solely with the students themselves, even when those belongings are in RFA buildings. We suggest that each student has adequate insurance to cover their belongings. If a player leaves their belongings within the academy`s possession, it shall be destroyed after 2 weeks without claim or collection.

8) All players must follow the Code of Conduct, outlined during induction and displayed within the RFA facilities.

General

1) All players must wear shin pads for training and games, if not worn, you will be unable to participate within the training session or game. It is the players responsibility to ensure shin pads are worn.

2) All players must speak English throughout all RFA timetabled sessions.

3) Players are expected to attend 100% of the training schedule. International Students must be aware that if they miss 10 study days consecutively without contacting RFA, they will be reported to the UK Border Agency.

4) Players are entirely responsible for organising their own medical insurance. Bearing in mind the possible threat to your professional career if you were to sustain some disabling injury during your time at RFA. You may wish to consider arranging insurance cover for personal accident or injury.

6) Players who are provided with accommodation by RFA will follow any code of conduct or in-house guidelines and procedures that are laid down by the accommodation provider and or the Academy, verbally or in writing.

7) Should any circumstances change it is the student’s responsibility to keep RFA informed of all changes, in particular of any changes of home address, emergency contact name/ numbers or of any medical information.

3) You must pay all bank charges incurred when paying via bank transfer. All academy places and bookings of training/ accommodation/ airport transfers will not be made or confirmed until full payment has been completed.

7) Students having difficulty, for whatever reason in paying fees of any king to the academy are strongly advised to discuss their problem with a member of staff.
