15.01.2022 Our November newsletter is now available on our website. Parents play an important role in junior sporting clubs, from watching their child train and compete, through to off-field involvement through sporting administration and volunteering activities. Sporting contests can, however, become heated, leading to behaviour by parents which unfortunately falls below acceptable standards. Parents play an important role in educating their children on the values of fair play and respect in sport. http://www.sportslawyer.com.au//sportslawyer-november-2019

Paul discusses: whether rules need to change in the AFL to reduce potential concussion injuries in the future; whether concussion claims and payouts are now likely to increase due to this case;... why this payout has been made, and the Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) medical knowledge, including examples such as Danny Frawley, due to new knowledge of concussive injuries and symptoms of those concussive injuries, including depression and cognitive functioning. http://www.sportslawyer.com.au//1-4m-concussion-payout-for

05.01.2022 How can sports clubs positively address mental health? The Black Dog Institute reports that one in five Australians experiences a mental illness in any given year. With performance pressure becoming more and more prominent in sport at levels below the professional level, it is important for your sports club to support the positive mental health of athletes and to set out the club’s expectations with respect to certain conduct. While taking a proactive role in the promotion of good mental health may assist clubs from a performance perspective, it can also help to prevent legal liability to clubs in certain circumstances. #mentalhealth #sportslawyer http://www.sportslawyer.com.au//how-can-sports-clubs-posit
