Sports safety

High-risk sports
As CST primarily hosts courses offered by Y+S, the respective Y+S guidelines are binding. If no Y+S guidelines exist for a specific sport, the guidelines or recommendations of the relevant national sports association apply.

High-risk sports must take place under the supervision of Y+S leaders, instructors or PE teachers with the necessary qualifications. This applies to the following disciplines in particular: 

Y+S disciplines:

• Group A: golf, trampolining, cycling (mountain biking, road racing, BMX), combat sports (fencing, judo, jiu-jitsu, karate, wrestling, Swiss wrestling).
• Group B: mountain sports (sport climbing, mountaineering), archery, swimming-related sports (swimming, free diving, lifesaving, synchronized swimming, water polo, diving), water sports (windsurfing, sailing, canoeing [regatta and white-water], rowing, stand-up paddle boarding [SUP]).

Non-Y+S disciplines: scuba diving.

Group size

For organizational reasons, the following maximum group sizes apply to the sports listed below.

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

CST is unable to ensure constant supervision of activities in the swimming and diving pools or on the lake. Course instructors are solely responsible for the supervision and safety of their groups during courses in, near or on the water.
