Shoosh for Kids Week - 14-20 May 2018

Shoosh for Kids awareness week for winter sports will be held from 14 to 20 May 2018, however the campaign message is relevant all season long.

Shoosh for Kids is a collaborative effort between the Office of Sport and State Sporting Organisations to promote positive behaviour to their members, clubs and associations. The general rule is, if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.

The purpose of the campaign is to support grassroots sports in providing positive environments for their members, whilst also addressing issues which arise from poor behaviour including:

• Abuse to officials
• Reduced volunteer numbers
• Reduced participation rates (due to poor experiences/non-enjoyment/too competitive).
