DAYS OF SIGNIFICANCE
| 17th May |
IDAHOBIT (International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia & Transphobia) |
On May 17 we acknowledge IDAHOBIT as a day for our communities to go rainbow, and stand up against discrimination. Whether you’re part of the LGTBQIA+ community or you’re an ally – today we stand together. But why May 17? This date commemorates the anniversary the World Health Organisation removed homosexuality from the International Classification of Diseases in 1990. Prior to this, homosexuality was classified globally as a mental illness. |
INCLUSIVE COACHING PROGRAM
This inclusive hockey coaching program had been produced to assist coaches to adapt their delivery methods to best support participants of all abilities. Inclusive coaching should not be considered a separate coaching skill but a reflection of best practice.
Being inclusive means adapting and modifying coaching practices and activities to ensure that every participant – regardless of age, gender, ability level, disability or ethnic background – is included.
