Concussion  
 
As an elite or sub-elite sportsperson, would you consider hiding concussion symptoms to keep playing?
Yes
No
Depends on the situation
I believe more research needs to be made into concussion before it should impact sports anyway
Unsure

Welcoming and Inclusive Clubs

Garry Lyon

SRV has released a series of nine short video messages from former Melbourne Football Club superstar and television personality Garry Lyon, encouraging welcoming and inclusive clubs across Victoria.


These video tips were prepared as part of the Victorian Code of Conduct for Community Sport initiative to promote positive behaviour in local sport. Garry Lyon helps to encourage welcoming and inclusive clubs across Victoria.


In these videos, Garry Lyon talks about:



  • sport's ability to bring communities together;

  • treating others as you'd like to be treated;
    keeping perspective during the game;

  • developing a positive culture for your club;

  • breaking down the "us against them" mentality;

  • what makes clubs a great place for kids to have fun;

  • creating an open and welcoming environment for everyone;

  • the positive roles that women play in sport; and

  • connecting your club to the local community.

These videos can be viewed on the SRV website - at http://www.dpcd.vic.gov.au/sport/inclusive-sport/welcoming-and-inclusive-clubs.

Please feel free to forward this link to your clubs and leagues.
