Community sport thrives when our sidelines are safe, positive and supportive.
This resource provides simple, practical strategies to help coaches, volunteers, officials and spectators respond confidently when tensions rise.
By focusing on calm communication, shared values and personal safety, we can create environments where young people feel encouraged, respected and excited to play.
These tips are designed to support every club in building a culture that protects wellbeing, strengthens relationships and keeps the focus where it belongs, on the game.
