Adolescents with disabilities Some coaches may feel apprehensive about including players with a disability in football. It is important to remember that every individual has the right to participate in sport. Including players with a disability is not difficult – it simply requires enthusiasm and understanding. When involving players with a disability in your club, remember to: • Encourage the carer/parent to be involved and assist in activities and be responsible for the needs of the player. • Work with what the player can do and if you are not sure, ask their parent or carer. • Introduce the player to other members and create a ‘buddy’ system with other players. • Make simple modifications to various activities. This will allow greater participation by everyone. • Allow the player to participate in all aspects of the day’s activities. • Provide activities where players can succeed and develop self-esteem. • Encourage all players to participate in all activities. COACHING FEMALE PLAYERS When coaching female players, whether they are members of an all female team or as individuals in predominantly boys’ teams, the most important thing to focus on is that you are coaching people. Therefore, all of the general coaching advice provided throughout the manual applies equally to coaching female players. Generally female players come to a team with similar motivations to male participants and they respond to training with the same physical, physiological and skill development outcomes as their male counterparts. Each athlete is an individual and has a unique set of circumstances under which they will perform at their best. Female players (and generally all players) will be best served by a coaching process which pays attention to the following: • Be welcoming, supportive and ensure safety and an absence of any forms of harassment – a safe, supportive environment is the key to encouraging girls to become or stay involved. • Coaches, particularly males coaching females, must be sensitive to the impact of personal proximity and be aware that unnecessary touching is inappropriate and may offend. Ensure physical contact with players is appropriate and necessary for their skill development. Contact should only be used to facilitate learning or safe participation. (For more information about this area, see Australian Sports Commission, Harassment-free Sport Guidelines for Coaches – www.activeaustralia.org/hfs/Coaches.pdf) • Conduct programs where individuals experience success and skill development. • Respect each player’s abilities – do not water down activities specifically for females. • Spend equal time and attention with all players to avoid perceptions of favouritism or neglect. • Do not treat females in a totally different way or continually draw attention to the fact that they are girls. • Ensure female players have a say in program planning and any issues discussed by the team. • A person’s sports performance should not be a measure of their self-worth. • Learn as much as possible about young female athletes and be open and professional with players about specific issues related to their growth and development as outlined in Chapter 1. 68 AFL Youth Coaching Manual
