Travel consent for children in a sports club
When the team travels to a tournament or an away game, the club needs consent from the family of each child. This template gives you a starting point.
In 30 seconds
- For trips within Spain, the club’s consent form signed by the family is enough.
- If the child leaves Spain without their parents, they also need the official travel permit (Instrucción 10/2019 SES), valid for 90 days.
- For frequent competitions, a single official permit with an annex of dates and activities will do.
