	As far as possible, young players have the same kit expectations as adults. Obvious modern clothing e.g. bright trainers or t-shirts with logos / characters on them should be avoided. Any weapons, shields or armour that a ~~Young~~ ~~Player~~ uses must pass a weapons check by a member of Curious Pastimes staff.

	A young player’s '''responsible adult at Curious Pastimes''' ('''RAACP''') is the person who is responsible as a parent, carer or guardian for that young player '''at an event'''. RAACPs must be over the age of 18 and nominated by the young person’s '''legally responsible adult''' ('''LRA''') before they attend an event, if the LRA is not the person bringing the young person to the event. (For example, a player might be the RAACP for both their daughter and their nephew, ~~even~~ ~~though they aren’t~~ the LRA for their ~~nephew~~). RAACPs may make decisions for that young person whilst they are attending Curious Pastimes and are responsible for their wellbeing.
