The first session can shape someone’s whole experience of sport. 💙
For a newcomer, joining a new club or team can be exciting, but it can also feel unfamiliar or intimidating. That’s why creating a welcoming environment from day one matters.
Small actions from coaches, clubs and teammates can make a big difference:
👋 Welcome every new participant
💬 Explain activities clearly and use visual support when needed
🤝 Help newcomers connect with others
💙 Make sure everyone feels valued and part of the group
Inclusion isn’t only about giving people the opportunity to participate — it’s about making sure they feel they truly belong.
Different people. Same passion. One game for everyone. 🌍⚽
