Colts Safety Update Comes Into Force April 2026

Colts Safety Update Comes Into Force April 2026

13 Feb 2026

The Colts Committee had their first meeting of the year a couple of weeks ago, and we have some updates for you around safety, so if you're a Colts parent, eyeballs down: 

 

Following updates to ECB Safety Guidelines, the Colts Committee have discussed and agreed that the following policy changes should be made to take effect from April:

 

Neck Protectors - All U18's to wear neck protectors (stem guards) when wearing a helmet, coming into effect from April.  Three pairs of neck protectors shall be purchased for each age group to ensure the requirement is met.

 

Ball Throwers (dog throwers, sling arms) - Ball Throwers are only to be used by a competent adult (over 18).

 

Bowling Machines - Bowling Machines are only to be operated by a competent adult (over 18) and the user protected by a perspex screen. If a screen is not available, the operator has to wear a helmet.

 

We think you'll agree, all very sensible and straightforward - the safety of our membership is always paramount, and we don't take these measures lightly.
