The Next Generation: Protecting and supporting young athletes during Clean Sport Week, 19 – 23 May.
Scottish Volleyball is committed to clean sport and will be supporting UK Anti-Doping’s (UKAD’s) Clean Sport Week campaign from the 19th to the 23rd of May.
Clean Sport Week is UKAD’s national awareness campaign championing clean sport, education and anti-doping initiatives with sports across the UK.
This year’s Clean Sport Week theme is “The Next Generation”. To ensure the future of our sport is a bright and clean one, it’s vital that we support and educate young people on anti-doping and inspire them to become proud clean athletes. UKAD has teamed up with; TASS, SportsAid, DiSE and Pearson to discuss how the sporting community, family, friends, and those working with young people, can protect and empower young athletes.
A culture of clean sport is essential for the long-term health and wellbeing of athletes. Whether you’re a proud aspiring [player/athlete of sport] on your clean sport journey, a parent/ carer looking for the right tools to support your child in [the sport], a school or college wanting to teach your pupils about fair play, be sure to follow and get involved in Clean Sport Week.
We encourage anyone in the volleyball community that would like to learn more about anti-doping to sign up to UKAD’s Clean Sport Hub where there are free education courses for athletes, students, coaches and practitioners.
