Irish Flying Disc Association Child Protection Policy (Last Updated: September 2019) Irish Flying Disc Association Child Protection Policy (Last updated: September 2019) Introductory Statement The IFDA commit to fully comply with the Sport Ireland Code of Ethics and Best Practice for Childen’s Sport in Ireland and the National Children First legislation. This policy applies to all those involved in IFDA activities including, but not limited to, coaches, administrators, officials, volunteers, members, parents and young people. The IFDA is fully committed to safeguarding the well-being of its members. Every individual in the organisation should at all times show respect and understanding for the rights, safety and welfare of others, and conduct themselves in a way that reflects the principles of the Association club and the guidelines contained in the Sport Ireland Safeguarding Guidance for Children & Young People in Sport. We will strive to equip young people with the fundamentals to get involved in and remain in sport and physical activity, whether that is ultimate or another sport. We will ensure that their experience with ultimate is positive and enjoyable, irrespective of their ability, gender, social class, race etc. We will strive to make physical activity and spirit of the game an important part of their lives that they will sustain through adulthood. People This policy will apply to all IFDA community members and to all adults and children participating in sport under the IFDA. This includes parents, coaches, teachers as well as all children participating in the sport. Laws and Policy In order to promote the best practice in children’s sport, the IFDA and associated clubs will be in compliance with the Sport Ireland Safeguarding Guidance for Children & Young People in Sport. The following principles and practices are adapted to Ultimate Frisbee and other flying disc sports. 1. Principles We recognise the following principles of children playing sport in Ireland. 1.1 CHILDHOOD AND THE NEEDS OF THE CHILD The importance of childhood should be understood and the right to happiness within childhood should be recognised and enhanced at all levels of sport. The child’s involvement in sport should always be enjoyable. Sports training for children should have a child centred approach. All children’s sport experiences should be guided by what is best for children. This means that adults should have a basic understanding of the emotional, physical and personal needs of young people. The stages of development and ability of children should guide the types of activity and level of intensity in ultimate. We recommend that any leaders in a club with children in it attend a Code of Ethics course to better understand the needs of the child. The safety of children is the responsibility of adults in leadership positions. All people involved in the leadership of sports for children should be appropriately selected and approved through the Garda vetting system. The National Selection Board will take application forms and ask for references for all leadership staff for national teams. 1.2 INTEGRITY IN RELATIONSHIPS Adults interacting with children in sport (referred to as Sports Leaders in this Policy) are in a position of trust and influence. They should always ensure that children are treated with integrity and respect, and the self-esteem of young people is enhanced. All adult actions in sport should be guided by what is best for the child and carried out in the context of respectful and open relationships. Physical, emotional or sexual abuse and neglect of any kind or threat of such abuse is unlawful and unacceptable within sport, as in society in general. 1.3 FAIR PLAY and SPIRIT OF THE GAME The IFDA supports the view that all children’s sport should be conducted in an atmosphere of fair play. In this context the IFDA undertakes to adopt the definition of fair play as set out in the European Sports Charter and Code of Ethics, Council of Europe (1993). “Fair play is defined as much more than playing within the rules. It incorporates the concepts of friendship, respect for others and sportsmanship. Sports ethics is defined as a way of thinking, not just a way of behaving. It incorporates issues concerned with the elimination of cheating, the use of unfair strategies whilst respecting the rules, doping, misuse of nutritional supplements, violence (both physical and verbal), sexual harassment and abuse of children, young people and women, trafficking in young sportspeople, discrimination, exploitation, unequal opportunities, excessive commercialisation and corruption.” Responsibility for sports ethics Spirit of the Game, which is taught and instilled in all athletes, promotes this sense of fairplay. Leaders will give guidance around expected behaviour in the following areas that emphasise the importance of participation, hard work, and gracious treatment to all opponents. Leaders are expected to keep up to date with any rules changes from the World Flying Disc Federation (WFDF) and discuss changes to rules with the Spirit Director of the IFDA. 1.4 QUALITY ATMOSPHERE AND ETHOS Children’s sport should be conducted in a safe, positive and encouraging atmosphere. Standards of behaviour for leaders and children in sports organisations should be as important as the standards set for sports performance. Standards of excellence should extend to personal conduct. 1.5 COMPETITION Competition is an essential element of ultimate frisbee and should be encouraged in an age appropriate manner. A child centred ethos will help to ensure that competition and specialisation are kept in their appropriate place. Competition can make a significant contribution to children’s development but should always be fun, enjoyable and satisfying. Through such competition children learn respect for opponents, officials and rules of ultimate. Too often competitive demands are placed on children too early, which results in excessive levels of pressure on them. This is one of a number of factors, which contribute to high levels of dropout. It should always be kept in mind that the welfare of children comes first and competitive standards come second. While under eight is a very different age group to under eighteen the same general principle should apply. As adults we need to strike a balance between a young person’s desire to win and a young person’s right to participate, irrespective of ability. Remember that success is not the same as winning and failure is not the same as losing. 1.6 Equality Statement All children should be valued and treated in an equitable and fair manner regardless of ability, age, sex, religion, social and ethnic background or political persuasion or any perceived differentiation. Children, irrespective of ability or disability should be involved in sports activities in an integrated and inclusive way, whenever possible, thus allowing them to participate to their full potential alongside other children (Code of Ethics and Good Practice for Children’s Sport 2000) The IFDA recognises the additional vulnerability of some children and the extra difficulties they may face when seeking help.To address this vulnerability coaches are encouraged to seek guidance on working with children with a disability from external agencies, parents / guardians and the children themselves. 1.7 LEGISLATIVE BASIS While our Child Protection Policy is not a legal document it is based on the Children First Act 2015, Child Care Act (IRL) 1991 and the Children (NI) Order 1993, as well as subsequent related legislation, such as Children’s Act 2001, Protection of Children and Vulnerable Adults Act (NI) 2003 and the Protection for Persons Reporting Act (IRL) 1998. Furthermore Ireland is a signatory to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, which acknowledges the right of the child to protection from all harm. Article 31 of the UN Convention on Rights of the Child recognises the “right of the child to engage in play and to have the chance to join in a wide range of activities.” In order to promote this charter and in response to consultation with young people the Office of the Minister for Children (IRL) includes in its strategy the objective that “children will have access to play, sport and recreation and cultural activities to enrich their experience of childhood.” The Office of the Minister for Children appointed an Ombudsman for Children in 2004, while Northern Ireland appointed the Commissioner for Children and Young People in 2003. This Policy is intended to provide guidelines for those working with young people in sport. It is not a definite legal interpretation of the legislation. While it is not a legal document, failure to comply may have legal implications or consequences. 2. People in Ultimate 2.1 Adults Leaders in Ultimate Any adult involved in ultimate for children should have a role that is clearly defined. This is particularly important for coaches who act as role models for children. Adults involved in ultimate have a duty of care to children, whether voluntary or professionally, to ensure their health, safety and welfare in ultimate. This unique position will allow adults to create special relationships with children, of which these have the potential to help children develop and express themselves in an open and secure way. It is essential that adults have the competence and ability to deal with children in a fair, empathetic, and ethical way. Adults in leadership positions should be selected by appropriate recruiting methods that require garda vetting and reference checks. Sports leaders should also participate in Code of Ethics

Guts is one of the team events in the flying disc sports. It is played by two teams of five players each. The official disc of the game is the Pro model Frisbee disc. For informal play, a lightweight, blunt-rim disc such as the 100 G DDC is sometimes used. The playing field consists of two parallel goal-lines 15 m in length and 14 m apart. The teams stand in line opposite each other. Each team defends a goal- line. The disc is thrown back and forth between the teams. The object is to throw the disc through the line of defending players. The throwing team scores a point when the other team does not catch a correctly thrown disc. The receiving team scores a point when the disc is not thrown correctly. When a correctly thrown disc is caught by the other team, no points are scored. The team that first reaches 21 points, wins the game. Tip: if you want you can play with fewer players on a team. Tip: at first you can make the game somewhat easier by suspending the rule that the disc must be caught with one hand. The most important rules. • A game consists of a series of exchanges in which one team throws the disc and the other team attempts to catch the disc. The teams are alternately throwing and receiving: in the next exchange the throwing team becomes the receiving team and vice versa.

  • E-Book Is Published by WFDF and Is Available Here
    Dear friends of Ultimate and Flying Disc sports: It is my pleasure to introduce this first e-book issued for school and university teachers on the Flying Disc sport of Ultimate, which we hope will help spread the knowledge about our sport around the world. The book, originally published by José Am- oroso in Portuguese and now translated to English, is proudly supported by the World Flying Disc Federation (WFDF) as part of our Development Programme funded with the coop- eration by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). The WFDF mission is “to support and promote the global ad- Nob Rauch vancement of disc sports and spirit of the game.” This book is a powerful tool to provide teaching professionals around the globe with the skills to teach both the techniques of Ultimate as well as the important principles of the “Spirit of the Game.” This book will offer various curriculum levels and an introduction to the other Flying Disc sports, and we are confident that it will give a boost to Flying Disc in schools and universities and help young athletes in more countries in the world to play Ultimate. The World Flying Disc Federation’s development programme is in its seventh year and we look to broaden the skills of those practising our sport worldwide, to see our sport being played in all countries around the world with gender-equal opportunities, and to promote the Spirit of the Game. It is this character of Ultimate, as a self-refereed sport demanding of its athletes a spirit a of fair play, which makes it so unique among all team sports and, from our perspective, a team sport equal to none, and it is this spirit that very much contributes to the #frisbeelifestyle.
