Disclaimer:
The Town of Wells offers athletic programs to minors, including travel basketball and youth wrestling. Of paramount importance to the Town and the coaches who manage these programs is the safety, development and well-being of youth participants. Not all youths who wish to participate in these programs are physically and/or psychologically ready for the rigors of the sport, or develop at the same rate. The Town asks that parents realistically assess their children’s abilities before enrolling them in a program. The Town will strive to the extent possible to ensure that youths who would like to participate in a program can do so at the level which is best suited for them, taking into account factors such as age, weight, height, grade level, skill level, coordination, and other factors.

Under no circumstances, however, will the Town jeopardize the safety and future development of youths by allowing them to join programs at a level which is unsafe for them or others. The Town relies upon the judgment and training of the coaches who run these programs to uphold this standard. Therefore, in any instance where a coach or the Town believes that a youth’s participation in a program would be unsafe to either the participant him/herself, or to any other participant, the coaches and the Town shall have the discretion to limit the participation, or decline to allow the youth to participate in the program. Again, the safety and the mental and physical well-being of children will be the determining factor.
