This weekend brings about the culmination of the Shoosh for Kids awareness week, promoting appropriate behaviour at sporting grounds.
A huge amount of sporting associations, including Orange Little Athletics, Orange District Softball Association, Orange District Basketball Association and Raiders Baseball Club – among plenty of others – are all involved in the program.
“We want junior games to be positive, happy places for kids to enjoy themselves while making new friends and being active,” Office of Sport Chief Executive, Matt Miller said.
“Promoting Shoosh for Kids week at local clubs and associations across NSW means there is a consistent message for grassroots sport.”
The Office of Sport also launched a series of online videos promoting positive spectator behaviour with messages from those most important – the kids.
