While sportspeople and sporting communities across the country eagerly await the lifting of restrictions on community sporting activities, both on-field and off-field, there is a challenge for all sporting codes to describe what will constitute a “safe” environment for playing sport and socialising around sport in the future.
To move community sport “from crisis to confidence”, an open and honest discussion by all stakeholders will be required, with the Association willing to support this process through its comprehensive network and database of New Zealand community sport clubs.
