Why True Sport?
The activation of the True Sport Principles, is HOW we create a safe sport environment and positive field hockey culture.
True Sport focuses on what you CAN do. It is a positive, proactive, unified approach achieved through a commitment to living the True Sport Principles.
True Sport takes endurance, consistency and intentionality by all participants of the game, every day.
The continual commitment to live these Principles will help create a Field Hockey Canada culture that is positive, inclusive, and a healthy sport environment for all individuals in the game.
Field Hockey Canada recognizes that when True Sport is activated intentionally and consistently in the sport experience, sport is safe, welcoming, inclusive, and fulfilling. By being respectful of individuals’ rights and welfare the prevention of harm occurs naturally.
It is critical for FHC Stakeholders to recognize how they can incorporate True Sport into their specific roles. In this way, Field Hockey Canada as a whole organization will consistently and intentionally strive to lead with the True Sport Principles as the driver of culture and action.
Valuing True Sport within the integral operations of Field Hockey in Canada will promote a safe, positive, inclusive sport environment.
