EQUALITY IS THE GAME

This session is designed to allow senior club leaders to examine and determine what kind of club they want to create and how they, as leaders, can drive the change they want to see. Essentially great clubs are values driven and leaders are aware of their own strengths, but more importantly they are looking to identify and develop the strengths of other club members so that in the end change is driven by everyone.

“SALT has provided our club with the means to create an inclusive and safe environment for the players. Everyone is now more consciously aware of the need to look after each other.”

– Captain, Metropolitan Football Club
