Bullying is a societal problem that is impacting individuals in all areas: School, work, sport and home life. In sport there is a fine line between competitive spirit and true bullying. Whether it’s from parents, guardians, athletes or coaches, disrespectful behaviour has become a growing concern at gyms, courts, rinks, and all other sport locations. Dare to Care programs aim to provide consistent messaging and understanding at all levels to create more positive, safe and inclusive sport experiences.
SNCC has participated in the Coach & Management Workshop in 2024 in order to become better equipped to identify instances of bullying, learn how to take a “no-nonsense approach” to bullying and understand the importance of having clear policies and procedures to deal with issues.
