Dare to Care: Tackling Bullying in Sport

***DATE CHANGE*** This event has been rescheduled to May 16th, 2024

Dare to Care: Tackling Bullying in Sport is a bonus session brought to you by Sport For All: Breaking Barriers.

This workshop will equip coaches, management, and volunteers with the awareness and tools needed to make a positive impact in their communities. Coaches set the stage for how kids on a team are treated, and management sets the stage for how coaches, players, parents/guardians, and officials treat one another. Both coaches and management must be very clear in creating an atmosphere of respect, support, and team unity. To do this coaches and management must understand the difference between competitive spirit and true bullying; whether it be from players, parents, management, or coaches.

In this workshop participants will establish a common language, 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.

This workshop will be facilitated by Lisa Dixon-Wells, founder and executive director of Dare to Care. Dare to Care is a unique program regarded as Canada’s most comprehensive and practical bullying prevention program. In 2016 we were awarded the Government of Alberta Inspiration Award for Leadership in Bullying Prevention.
