Use of metal pegs to peg marquees and sports equipment
The City's Parks Dept have recently reported that there have been no incidents involving tent pegs left behind in the sports reserves for the past 12 months.
Thank you to all clubs that have helped achieve this.

Just as a reminder, if you need to peg sporting equipment, such as soccer nets, baseball bases, marquees, etc, please use PLASTIC PEGS.
Metal pegs are harder to see and can leave sharp, dangerous shrapnel when mowed and can cause serious injury.
Clubs can access FREE plastic pegs from the City's Recreation Services team.

Kidsport update

In the period from April 2019 to April 2020, a total of 755 Cockburn kids received funding from the Kidsport program, with almost $120,000 granted to assist eligible families with paying registration fees.
Most families heard about the program from the club or from friends. The infographic below shows how different sports are represented in the funding provision.
Kidsport registered clubs can access a variety of promotional material on the Kidsport website to share with their members.

Sideline behaviour
Sideline behaviour of parents at junior sport events has long been an issue in community sporting organisations. Left unchecked it can have a serious impact on children enjoying and remaining in sport, and club culture as a whole.
If your club is having an issue with inappropriate parental conduct in junior sports, the following information from Play by the Rules and The Australian Parenting Website may provide some useful tips and insight to share with parents or to develop (or review) a Parent's Code of Conduct.
