NBIAA ‘No Swearing’ Campaign

The “No Swearing” campaign encourages all teams to participate in this campaign by making a team commitment – both players and coaches – to refrain from using profanity.

Such a commitment equates to making a positive contribution to society by employing the admirable self-discipline – and respect for others – required to honour such a commitment.

Profanity is offensive to spectators, parents, teacher observers and more than ever, coaches and athletes.  Allowing it to occur during practice increases the likelihood that profanity will be used during games, where it can produce rule infractions and hurt your team and school’s image.

IMPORTANT POINTS TO CONSIDER

  1. Not using profanity sets a good example for others; using profanity does just the opposite.
  2. Coaches are the key!  A coach who refrains from using profanity and strongly discourages such use by all team members, is acting as a true “sports educator” and we are HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS.
  3. People admire others who act in a civil manner, no matter what the circumstance.
  4. Profanity often leads to hurt feelings and even acts as a precursor to violent behaviour.

In an effort to curb the use of profanity, the NBIAA would like each school to support this campaign by displaying the “No Swearing” poster at all NBIAA events.

The NBIAA will also be sending out this message to all official associations and provincial sport organizations, to let them know that penalties are in place when profanity is used by NBIAA participants.

First Powerchair Football Event in NB

Powerchair Football (soccer) – Sunday, November 16th, 2014, Moncton, NB

Coaching Clinic and Athlete Experience

The first Powerchair Football event in the province was held on Sunday, November 16th, 2014 at the Greater Moncton YMCA and it was huge success with an excellent turnout! Soccer New Brunswick and Para New Brunswick Sport & Recreation got together in the past year to help make this happen in the East Region with the East Region Soccer Association.

Powerchair Football (powerchair soccer) is a competitive indoor team sport developed for participants of all ages with physical challenges such as quadriplegia, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, head trauma, stroke, spinal cord injury and more that requires the use of an electric wheelchair (www.fipfa.org).

With the help of Powerchair Football Canada and Juni-Sport, a Powerchair Football team from Quebec, coaches from the East Region and powerchair users got to discover and experience this amazing sport. The president of Powerchair Football Canada and assistant coach to the Juni-Sport Powerchair Football team, André Bougie, offered his help and knowledge on the sport as well as Jean-Pierre Des Grosseilliers, Head Coach of the Juni-Sport Powerchair Football team from Quebec. With them, they had the presence of 4 athletes from the Juni-Sport team, all of different ages and levels of physical challenges. These athletes were able to guide and show the participants the nature of Powerchair Football in action during the technical session of the clinic.

The experience and knowledge they shared with us, was very eye opening and resourceful to help develop this discipline in New-Brunswick, starting with the East Region and to offer a meaningful and significant exercise opportunity that promotes quality of life, team work and fitness as well as improve fitness, wheelchair mobility and enhance executive processing skills needed for everyday function.

With this clinic emerged 2 committed coaches and 14 NB participants. Powerchair Football practice sessions will continue to be held at the Greater Moncton YMCA on the following dates from 1:30pm to 3pm where we ask participants to arrive early to get them set up: Sunday, Jan 11th, 2015 (more dates to be confirmed).

We would like to recognize and thank our partners who helped make this event possible: the Government of New Brunswick, the Express Embroidery, the Moncton YMCA, Juni-Sport Quebec, Powerchair Football Canada, Para Sport Quebec, Para New Brunswick Sport & Recreation, Soccer New Brunswick and the East Region Soccer Association.
