Administrators play a vital role in sport, particularly to reduce the potential for things to go wrong. Here, you can access resources to help you manage risks in your sport.
Coaches and officials are what make sport tick. They play a crucial role in helping keep sport safe, fair and inclusive. Here are a number of tools and resources to help you do just that.
If you are a player then you can make a huge contribution to making sport safe, fair and inclusive. Your behaviour influences others, not only your team mates, but everyone involved in sport.
As a parent you should be aware of your clubs responsibilities. At the same time you also have responsibilities and you can play a huge role in creating a safe environment for your child.
The coach and Rayna's mother have a difference of opinion. Click through the conversation to better understand both the coach's and parent's perspectives.
Coach: "This is a very important game for us and the team has to win to make the finals. It would be silly not to play our strongest team."
Parent: "But this isn't the final, it's just another minor round game. You've rotated the girls all season, so why change the rules now?"
Coach: "The girls have worked so hard to get to where they are, they'd be devastated if they lost this game and missed out on the finals. I just don't think it would be fair on them."
Parent: "Well it wouldn't be fair on Rayna either if she missed her turn. She's devastated by your decision - it's discrimination! I thought junior sport was supposed to be about having fun and playing as a team!"
Coach: "The girls understand they're an important part of the team and it doesn't matter whether they're on the court or cheering from the sidelines."
Parent: "Well you've made Rayna feel like she's not an important part of the team at all!"
Now that you're familiar with the positions expressed by the coach and Rayna's mother, what do you think the coach should do?
