2. Has a personal relationship (e.g. a personal friend of the family) with a player or players in the age group in which the application is made.

NOTE: A conflict of interest does not prevent a coach being appointed to an age group, it is simply an acknowledgement. The selection panel on a case-by-case basis will assess each application, when determining selections, identifying a conflict of interest and decide an appropriate course of action to ensure transparency and fairness.
