Clean Sport 101

ASADA has released a new online course for grassroots and pathway athletes – Clean Sport 101.

Clean Sport 101 is a simple 15 minute course which gives a snapshot of the rules, the potential dangers, with helpful hints and resources to help keep athletes clean and fair throughout their sporting journey.

It is designed for young, pathway athletes early in their careers who are very unlikely to be tested. Clean Sport 101 was developed in response to feedback from sports, parents and athletes who wanted a less technical option than the Level 1 course for younger athletes.

The course is written for Year 8 level comprehension, and is available on our eLearning website https://elearning.asada.gov.au/.

The Presenter was Victorian 5* Event Rider Will Enzinger, an EA level 3 Coach and Coach Educator and EA High Performance Panel member for HP development. The Update was open to all current EA coaches, Officials and Judges. It was encouraging that a number of coaches, who were not due for their Update still attended.
