Building on previous plans, the ASC’s key objectives are to secure an effective national sporting system that offers improved participation in quality sports activities by Australians, and to secure excellence in sports performance by Australians. Supporting the ASC’s objectives are several critical result areas. These are: – greater grassroots sports participation, particularly by youth, women, Indigenous Australians and people with disabilities – increased sports participation, particularly in rural and regional communities – increased membership and reach of local sporting clubs – best-practice management and governance of sport within and through national sporting organisations – increased adoption of the values of fair play, self-improvement and achievement – recruitment, retention and, where appropriate, accreditation of people within the sports sector – improved economic efficiency within, and commercial return to, the ASC and national sporting organisations – sustained achievements in high performance sport by Australian teams and individuals – recognition of the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) as a world centre of excellence for the training and development of elite athletes and coaches – a drug-free sporting environment. MISSION STATEMENT 1 BOCC 30078 Annual Rep 9/10 10/10/03 10:23 AM Page 2 Chairman’s review This year has seen the Australian Sports Commission (ASC), on behalf of the Australian Government, continue to lead the management and development of Australian sport. The ASC operates and manages a comprehensive range of programs and initiatives introduced in accordance with the Government’s sports policy, Backing Australia’s Sporting Ability: A more active Australia. Australian athletes and teams have again competed strongly on the international stage. The Manchester Commonwealth Games, held between 25 July and 4 August 2002, saw Australia’s athletes perform wonderfully. The Australian team won a total of 207 medals, including 82 gold medals, which was an increase from the 198 medals (80 gold) won at the 1998 Kuala Lumpur Commonwealth Games. Current or former AIS scholarship holders won almost half (101) of all medals, including 44 gold. The entire Australian team represented our country with pride, and congratulations to all members. One of the key objectives set for the ASC by the Government is to increase participation in sport and membership of sporting organisations. A major initiative introduced to address this goal is the Targeted Sports Participation Growth Program, under which 21 national sporting organisations have linked with the ASC and the private sector to deliver specific programs to get more people involved in active sports participation. These initiatives continue to be rolled out around the country and feedback on participation to date has been pleasing. In 2002, the Australian Bureau of Statistics released data indicating that the number of officials (referees, umpires, judges, etc.) participating in sport had declined by 26 per cent from 1997 to 2001. The ASC, in cooperation with state and territory departments of sport and recreation, held a series of Fair Go for Officials forums throughout Australia to explore the reasons for the decline. Bearing in mind that the vast majority of officials are volunteers, the forums highlighted the significant effect that abusive behaviour towards these officials was having on the decline. In September 2002, the Minister for the Arts and Sport, Senator the Hon. Rod Kemp, announced that 2003 would be designated as the Year of the Official in order to develop, showcase and promote strategies to attract and retain officials. This initiative was launched nationally in March 2003 with the aim of increasing the recruitment and retention of officials in sport by highlighting the integral role they perform, reducing the incidence of abusive behaviour towards them, and initiating innovative education programs for officials. Working with key sporting organisations and all state and territory governments, the Year of the Official is the spearhead of an ongoing program to change social and cultural attitudes towards officials in sport and to implement more appropriate education and coaching programs to better prepare and support officials. The affordability and availability of public liability insurance and other insurance issues continue to be of concern to sport. Research commissioned by the ASC found that sports have suffered greater increases in premiums than the average for all industries, and that 2 AUSTRALIAN SPORTS COMMISSION ANNUAL REPORT 2002–2003 BOCC 30078 Annual Rep 9/10 10/10/03 10:23 AM Page 3 sports generally were poorly informed as to their insurances, levels of cover, exclusions and claims history. While a number of legislative reforms have been undertaken at national and state level, the need for sports to have an effective risk-management program in place has been the focus of the ASC’s work in this area. It is vital that sporting organisations be proactive in all areas of risk management. The other major community issue to gain public attention during the year is the alarming increase in obesity in the population, particularly among children. There is significant

  • A True Pioneer Edward Laboran Was Born in Nonopai Village
    Edward Laboran – a True Pioneer Edward Laboran was born in Nonopai Village, Kavieng New Ireland on 28th August, 1942 as the World War II was still being waged around the Pacific. His primary schooling was done at Paruai Area School – the first of its kind under the Australian colonial administration. The main sport he played then was Soccer, but it was for fun and unstructured. His first taste of Athletics came when he competed at Utu Intermediate School, (under the Queensland Education System), but once again it was unstructured and mainly for enjoyment. On graduation from Utu he then moved to Kerevat Secondary School (1958 & 1959) on the Gazelle Peninsula in New Britain District. At Kerevat, sport now became more organized and serious. The focus of the year’s activities was the Inter Schools Carnival. Edward was so much better than all of the other high jumpers that he represented the school in both the Junior and Senior Competitions. In 1960 it was to the Papuan Capital, Port Moresby to attend the teachers’ college at Ward Strip. Edward was in the pioneer group which also included Sir John Kaputin, Rose Kekedo and many other people who went on to make a name for themselves in the late colonial era and into Independence. The Athletics competitions at this stage were held at the field in Taurama Barracks. The Sir Hubert Murray Stadium and the Sir John Guise Stadium were but a dream for the future. His High Jump of 6’ 0.5” (1.84m) was the first recognized TPNG National Record.

  • Anuj at the 2009 Indoor Cricket World Cup in Australia
    The ICCA Cricket Club My 2009 Indoor Cricket World Cup Journey To Australia Selection I will fondly remember that day in April when I received a call informing me of my selection for the England U16 indoor cricket squad to play in the forthcoming World Cup tournament in Australia in October 2009. Mike Gatting had made the squad announcements at the Bristol training centre but not confident of selection, I did not attend this event! Having played indoor cricket from the age of 8, I was confident of my abilities but when I saw those big lads at the trials, I thought I had made a mistake. Of course I was overwhelmed and proud to have made it to the initial squad. The task now was to make it to the final squad of 12 players for the tournament. Preparation Our pre-tournament training was mostly based in Bristol over a period of six months. This involved rigorous fitness training as well as honing the skills of playing competitive indoor cricket matches. On a few occasions we played against the U19s and the men’s teams to toughen our approach. Indoor cricket was invented in Australia where they have over a hundred centres compared to our six! Needless to say, the international level of competition was expected to be very strong. This is the fastest format of the game and is gradually gaining popularity in all major Test playing countries. The ECB is taking control over the game from this year and it is anticipated that more quality facilities will be available throughout the country in the coming years.
