SportWest Media Release | WA Sports Industry Unite to Tackle Poor Sideline Behaviour
|
SportWest this week launched a new True Sport initiative addressing poor sideline behaviour in sport. The True Sport Sideline Behaviour Initiative "There's no place for poor sideline behaviour. Let Us Play" seeks to increase public awareness of the impact of poor sideline behaviour in sporting environments.
SportWest have engaged with several WA State Sporting Associations who have experienced a challenging winter competition season with incidents of poor sideline behaviour. Football West CEO, Jamie Harnwell is supportive of a campaign which highlights the adverse effects of poor sideline behaviour on spectators, players, coaches, and referees. “Poor sideline behaviour is an issue across the world and research has shown it can have a negative impact on the enjoyment children get from playing their favourite sports.”
Join us in stamping out poor sideline behaviour in sport. There’s no place for poor sideline behaviour. Let us play!
