Sport Organizations

Describe

To join True Sport, you need to get your association, league, or governing body involved. True Sport is a social movement driven mainly by groups connected to sport in their community. Sport organizations are an important part of the Movement. Often, a single person—like you—introduces their organization to True Sport.

There are many ways you can tell your organization—or its leadership body—about True Sport:

• Send them to this web site. 
• Print the True Sport Principles for them. 
• Show them the declaration (downloadable from this page, on the right) they will need to sign in order to join.
• If you wish, you can use a letter tempate to tell others about True Sport—or you can do it in your own words.

Discuss

Once you’ve given your organization members some information about True Sport, it’s time to get together and talk about whether you’re ready to commit to the True Sport Principles. This step is about more than just sending your team or club a link or a print-out. It’s an opportunity to get together and talk about the kind of sport you want to participate in, the principles you want to stand for, and the concrete actions your team or club can take to Live True Sport. Take some time to talk about what True Sport means to you and then sign the declaration certificate (downloadable from this page, on the right).

Declare

Once your organization has had their discussion and is ready to adhere to the True Sport Principles, you can complete your online declaration. This will activate your support of the True Sport Movement. It’s a moment to be proud of and you will get to share it with the rest of the members of the Movement.
