ROMA (ITALPRESS) – The National Amateur League with its CSR Area promotes the course for Community Coach, dedicated to the promotion of more inclusive sports contexts. Created in collaboration with the Council of Europe and with the patronage of Figc, the Minister for Sport and Youth and Unr, the project will form sports operators capable of preventing discrimination, promoting inclusive contexts and improving team dynamics. 2
“Today we present the results of the course started two years ago with the Sport is Respect project, in collaboration with the Council of Europe and the representatives of the Lnd, and we inaugurate the Coach Community initiative. The project follows the social leg and the competitive leg of the Lnd, allowing the boys to reflect and make them feel more accepted in the team group”, the words of Luca De Simoni, coordinator of the social responsibility area of the Lnd. Strengthening educational and relational skills, preventing discrimination, hate speech and bullying and providing operational tools through sport are the objectives of the training course that aims – through the Sport is Respect method – to create a real network of trainers.
“The Lnd initiative, connected with the representations, is a project that begins last year and has found a great deal of space in the calendar. We are very happy for the great adhesion of the boys,” says Barbara Coscarella, secretary of the national representatives of the Lnd.
“We are examples for the boys – adds the technician of the National Representative Lnd Giuliano Giannichedda -. The project is important and shows how football is a vehicle of passion and seriousness. We are here to collaborate for the good of youth football, which at social level is very important: we must train seriously to try to win in a loyal way”.
Through the formation of Community Coaches, the initiative aims to spread innovative educational practices throughout the national territory, helping to make amateur football increasingly inclusive and attentive to the values of respect and diversity.
