Season of Respect- Teacher Workshop
2025-02-18 20:00 - 21:30 (Europe/London) | Zoom
We are inviting you to take part in our Season Of Respect teacher training workshop.
The Season Of Respect initiative aims to tackle the widespread issue of referee and officials abuse, which manifests in various harmful ways from verbal assaults to threatening behaviours. In a survey conducted by Clare Sports Partnership as part of the Season of Respect Campaign, it was found that 64% of the respondents felt that they have witnessed unacceptable behaviour towards referees or officials over the past 12 months. In the findings informed by parents, coaches, players, and referees, it was reported that the abuse is coming from all involved in the game from underage players through to the spectators on the side-line. In an effort to tackle the ongoing issues highlighted we have been actively engaging with clubs by offering them coach and player education workshops. These have been very well received with over 25 clubs taking part so far.
The next step is to involve young people and their parents and teachers in a new schools initiative focused on education around The Season Of Respect.
The training is aimed at all school staff and as many people are welcome to attend as possible. This is the first step in our schools initiative, with the Season of Respect flag on offer for each school who actively participates.
The workshop takes place via zoom and its on from 8pm-9.30pm.
