On Your Team: young people’s experiences in sport

Are you a young person aged 12 – 17 living in Victoria?  

Are you keen to share why you are currently, dropped out or never been in a sport team?  

Are you passionate about sports being safe, fun spaces where everyone belongs?  

Vic Sport and Youth Affairs Council Victoria (YACVic) have gotten together to create two workshops to understand why young people are dropping out of sport and how we can improve these spaces so that young people keep playing sport.
