Reboot Sport For Success

A guide to Managing Community Sport during COVID-19

 

We  all understand the challenging time for sport at all levels across  Australia created by COVID-19. We want and need sport to make it through  the crisis. Sporting clubs, leagues and associations need to navigate  the rapidly changing environment. 


From  COVID-19 Safety Officer to working through the AIS Framework for  Rebooting Sport and the Sport Australia Return to Sport Toolkit, there  is much to do. Then, there is the engagement, safety and wellbeing of  members, participants and volunteers along with the really practical  aspects specific to each venue and group that has never previously  needed consideration.


Some clubs and sports are already making good headway. Stories of innovation and success will be gathered and will updated here.  Rather than see it fall apart, let’s use COVID-19 to build stronger and  more inclusive sport, with increased participation. After almost a  decade seeing many sports prosper through national leadership of Good Sports, I have a keen interest in seeing clubs, leagues and associations succeed through this crisis.


Are you communicating with your members regularly?

Have you nominated a COVID-19 Safety Coordinator?

How are you managing the return to training?

Do you have a plan to be financially viable?


Reboot  Sport so that your sports club, league or association can initially  survive, then put in place strategies to thrive beyond 2020. If you are  not actively engaging members regularly, you are already behind in the  game, but it is not too late to start now.


Learn  from what is working well for others and simplify your effort for  success. A few key areas to consider for community sport to survive and  thrive through COVID-19.


Base on Current Frameworks

The Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) Framework for Rebooting Sport in a COVID-19 Environment.  A comprehensive document released on 8th May - will still take some  work to interpret your specific requirements. Watch for updates as  States and Territories respond differently to the easing and management  of COVID-19 community restrictions. Sport Australia have taken it  further with the release of a Return to Sport Toolkit on 24th May.


Government Compliance

State  / Territory Government decisions are critical to many aspects of how  you manage your sport in the next 12 months. Also look out for  announcements for funding opportunities. Local Government may impose  additional requirements though may also have staff that can assist.  Recent announcements by WA Government and VIC Government include new  funding for sporting clubs.


Sport Governance

Draw off the recommended resources from National and State Sporting Organisations. Hockey Australia launched a COVID-19 Hub on 24th May.


Emerging Ideas and Good Practice

Find examples of what is already underway. You don't have to come up with everything yourself. The news section of the Reboot Sport website will generate links to good practice across sports throughout Australia.


Practical

A  challenge with broad frameworks and toolkits is that you need to  interpret and adapt to produce your specific needs. How can you quickly  move to the practical actions? Issues you may have never even needed to  contemplate before are now extremely important. Will the club provide  tissues, tape and cleaning products or will members supply their own?


Templates and Examples

Sometimes  it is great just to be able to copy and paste to get your message up,  create a temporary policy or get a new sign for the entrance to a venue.  Then you can focus on putting it into action.


Tailored to Local Needs

How  is your board or committee functioning? Have members or key sponsors  lost their jobs or business? Do you need to bring in some new support?  How will the specific venue, member and sport needs be considered for  training, return to play and setting up for next season?


Can  you use this time to build new strengths - a welcoming, safe and  inclusive environment attracts good people - will you be ready? Do you  need advice?


Responsive to Change

We  must remain vigilant... victory over COVID-19 is imperative. The health  and safety of members, families and guests is essential. It will not be  a time for complacency, but it can still be a time for fun, camaraderie  and regeneration. 


Building knowledge and Remaining Current

Consider  how to keep across each of the changes required by the sport code, State or Local Government as we progress through the rapidly changing  environment. Each change in Government regulations around community  activity will have on flow on requirements for you as well as your competitors.
