Is there any additional information for In-person presentations?
Seating: If possible, the preference is to have attendees seated in rows or an arc close to the presentation.
Introduction: Before the presentation, we require a club representative to introduce the SALT presenter. This can be along the lines of “Thanks everyone for coming. The SALT program is something we really value. What happens off the field at this club is as important as to what happens on it”.
Attendee Requirements: For all Junior SALT sessions we require a club representative to be in attendance such as a coach, welfare manager or committee member. Whilst we don’t encourage parents to attend, they can attend the Stand Your Ground or Unstoppable (11-14 age) sessions. For all other junior sessions, we find it best if parents do not attend as it can inhibit the conversation amongst participants.
