Sports safety

High-risk sports

Given that the CST primarily hosts courses included in the Y+S programme, the institution’s guidelines are considered binding. Should such guidelines be absent for certain sports, the guidelines of the relevant sports federation shall apply.

High-risk sports may only be practised under the supervision of Y+S instructors, trainers and teachers with specialist training. This applies in particular to the following disciplines:

• Y+S disciplines: sport climbing, canoeing, rowing, cycling (mountain biking, artistic cycling, cyclo-cross, cycle ball, unicycling, bike trials, BMX), golf, parkour, fencing, combat sports (wushu/kung fu, wrestling, Swiss wrestling, judo, jujitsu, karate, light kickboxing, light contact boxing), aquatic sports (artistic swimming, swimming, lifesaving, water polo, diving), stand-up paddleboarding, windsurfing, archery, trampolining, sailing.
• Non-Y+S disciplines: scuba diving.

Group size

For organizational reasons, there are clear rules regarding the maximum group size in the following sports:

• Archery: 12
• Canoeing (lake): 8
• Canoeing (river): 6
• Golf: 12
• Mountainbike: 12
• Rowing (lake): 8
• Sailing: 8
• Sports climbing (artificial wall): 12
• Sports climbing (rock): 6
