The celebration and support of grassroots sporting organisations, community clubs, and the volunteers who make these initiatives possible are at the heart of QIC’s long-term mission to foster community spirit and encourage active lifestyles across the local areas we serve. To further embed this commitment, we recently entered into a national partnership with the Australian Sports Commission, aimed at fostering national pride and inspiring future athletes, volunteers, and local sporting clubs. The “We Build Champions” program celebrates all community champions, emphasising the importance of participation and community involvement in sports and physical activity. This programme was brought to life at Robina Town Centre on Thursday, which proudly hosted Australian swimming hero Cody Simpson as part of the initiative. During his visit, Cody inspired local children with his story of perseverance, resilience, trying new things, and hard work, alongside a range of engaging activities such as the Jump Test, Canoe Course, and Steady Skater challenge at the Robina Arena. The event provided the Robina community with a unique opportunity to connect, promote physical activity, and celebrate the spirit of sport at all levels. Cody’s unique story and success in the pool underscore the significance of exploring new activities, demonstrating dedication, and appreciating the invaluable support from our community’s true local heroes – families, coaches, volunteers, and fans. We extend our gratitude to everyone who participated and made this event a resounding success. #WeBuildChampions #CommunityEngagement #RobinaTownCentre #CodySimpson #LocalHeroes #InspireTomorrow #GetActive

Sports for Development (S4D) project of Muslim Hands for Street-Connected and Out-of-School Children in Pakistan under #IamSomebody, providing the right to identity, play, and education | Pakistan Street Child Team
Sports provide many benefits to young children beyond just physical fitness. One of the most important benefits of participating in sports is the development of social skills. Through team sports, children learn how to work together, communicate effectively, and resolve conflicts. They also learn how to be good sportsman, including respecting their opponents, following the rules, and handling both victory and defeat with grace. These social skills are invaluable in all aspects of life, from school to work to personal relationships. #Maidaan #sportsfordevelopment #S4D #children

👋🏻 The AJGRG emerges from the will of the athletes who are members of the club itself, aiming to foster democracy and freedom of expression within their sports club. Its objective is to attract dynamic athletes interested in the fields of sports, education, health, and culture, and enable them to promote a more active, participative, and inclusive local community through the implementation of social projects. These projects will focus on fostering education, inclusion, diversity, and intercommunity respect, while also generating educational resources for the club and community. 🙌🏻Jita Kiyoei - Mutual Benefit, we harness the talent that exists in our community to maximize their capabilities through Judo and the daily work done here. These are seeds planted since 2007, and all of them, without exception, have bloomed and are now spreading their seeds. May sports always be a place of self-discovery, self-expression, but above all, a democratic place where becoming not only an athlete, but an exemplary citizen, is possible. 💪🏻News coming soon!

MUST READ: All Abilities Gala to continue the increase in inclusivity: Melbourne Victory have partnered with Transport Accident Commission (TAC) to host the second edition of the All Abilities Gala on Saturday April 20 to shine a spotlight upon the importance of inclusivity within football. The inaugural event in 2023 occurred as the curtain raiser to Melbourne Victory’s ANZAC round fixture against Macarthur FC. The event held at Gosch’s paddock consisted of training clinics and engaging activities, concluding with a 5v5 round robin all abilities tournament. This year, the event has increased in capacity. Two sessions for different age ranges will commence. From 3:15pm to 3:45pm, children aged between 4 to 12 will have their session, with the older contingent aged from 13 to 18 to participate in their session from 4:00pm to 4:30pm. Upon declaring their involvement for the event, all participants are offered a free ticket to attend the round 25 A-League Men’s fixture, where Victory will host Brisbane Roar at AAMI Park. TAC have been one of Victory's key sponsors since their inception in 2005 with the partnership nearing its 20th anniversary that is scheduled for next year. Inclusivity within society has become a point of focus for sporting codes across the globe - none more so than football. Members of society who face the difficulties of having special needs should have an engaging outlet. This allows for those to have a joyful and fulfilling, outdoor experience. Amongst other codes of football, the globally renowned variation tends to be far simpler and palatable, especially in terms of building skills and understanding general rules. Therefore, parents and guardians of those who have a disability may lean towards electing soccer as the sport that their kids can participate in, aware of the unique subtlety and non-aggressiveness that surrounds it when in comparison to the likes of Australian Rules football or rugby. The community event hosted by Victory simultaneously contributes to the community across Melbourne, while also increasing participation and appreciation for the sport of football within a state where it remains down in the pecking order of preferred sports.

My 2 cents on why having a good coach and event manager is essential for a padel club... 1.) Junior Program: A strong junior program not only fills up afternoon hours but also cultivates a lifelong love for the sport among youngsters. By engaging kids, we not only boost club activity but also foster family involvement that leads to them enjoying a game of padel over the weekend (as a family)... 2.) Community Building through Events: Well-organized events and mix-ins aren't just about fun; they're about fostering a sense of community. Through these gatherings, players of all levels interact, form connections, which allows for future game arrangements. People also realize that they need lessons after playing in some of these events so it is a great tool for getting new people for the coach. What else am I missing? #padel #padelcenter #community #sportsbiz #coaching #events

Winter sports in schools have recently kicked off. I’ve attended a few tournaments and festivals during the April holiday and was reminded time and again of the importance of the relationship between coaches, players and parents. I wrote this blog a few weeks ago to share some light on what we are experiencing at the moment. Amandzi #coaching #relationships #parents #players

🌐 As the Olympics draw to a close, and we celebrate the huge success of our Australian athletes, we take a moment to reflect on the importance of safety in sport. ⤵ ⚪ Last week, between the highs and lows of Olympic events, it was Safe Sport Day on 8 August. Safe Sport Day is an international day to raise awareness of the shared responsibility to safeguard children and young people playing sport. ➖ Regardless of the sport, or the level that it is played at, children and young people have a right to feel safe and to be safe while they play. ✖ We know from the research that when safety and wellbeing come second to winning - children suffer. ☑ Australian sporting organisations must have appropriate systems, processes, policies and procedures in place to safeguard young athletes - at every level they play at, from the local club to the global stage. ☑ These systems, processes, policies and procedures must then be embedded into every-day practice. ☑ Creating a culture of child safety, means that everyone is responsible for child safety from leaders and staff to families, children, spectators, and officials. 📨 If you know a sporting organisation that is ready to level-up their child safety game, pass on our details. We are ready to partner with them. #SafeSport #TakeThePledge #childsafety
