Learning Life Through Sport is a program designed to challenge social norms and inspire young people and their communities to bring a new standard of behaviour and respect to sport and life.
On Tuesday 21 March, SANFL Juniors is presenting a Learning Life Through Sport session at Norwood Football Club, from 6pm to 7.30pm for Moddies and 7.45pm to 9pm for Juniors. Registrations are welcomed. Click here to register.
Mount Lofty Football Club has sent the information to all Junior and Moddies coaches and encouraged some reps from the club to attend.
Learning Life Through Sport identifies positive ways to alter the inherited and often unacceptable behaviour of coaches, players, parents and supporters in junior sports. These behaviours include umpire dissent and abuse (bullying), bad sportsmanship and a lack of respect for sporting codes and participants of sport.
The South Australian Sports Medicine Association (SASMA) offers Level 1 and 2 Sports Trainer Courses throughout the year, and is also hosting a 2023 Trainers Conference next Sunday 19th February.
If you are interested in learning more about sport training, these courses and the conference are a fantastic resource.
