Doing Sport Differently Webinar #1 – Restoring confidence: Engaging people back into clubs

People may be feeling less confident physically, socially and emotionally in returning to sport and have fears regarding their health as well as how to behave following the COVID-19 pandemic. This webinar series will focus on 'Using the Doing Sport Differently principles to restore confidence in grassroots sport.’

In partnership with VicHealth and the Centre for Sport and Social Impact, La Trobe University (CSSI), Vicsport is coordinating three ‘Doing Sport Differently’ webinars over three weeks.

The series is aimed at sport and recreation clubs, assisting them to restore confidence in participants and volunteers as well as providing a positive and safe customer experience following the COVID-19 pandemic.

All three webinars will feature recorded presentations from experts in the field which will be available to be downloaded and utilised by clubs, SSAs, RSAs and LGAs for their own localised webinars with smaller groups of clubs to unpack local challenges and opportunities.

The first ‘Doing Sport Differently’ webinar, titled ‘Restoring confidence: Engaging people back into clubs’ will focus on:

• Understanding the barriers to sport for participants and co-designing practical solutions
• Considering current ways of connecting with members, how members connect with you and different ways to reach out to non-members and
• Engaging with members and participants and ensuring you have diversity of input

The discussion will be moderated by Vicsport with guest speakers including:

• Tamara Mason - Female Sport Participation Officer, Moreland City Council
• Tamatha Harding - Inclusion Lead, Tennis Victoria
• Matt Cameron - Senior Project Officer, Physical Activity and Sport, VicHealth
• Dr. Erica Randle - Centre for Sport and Social Impact, La Trobe University
