The NSW Sporting Injuries Committee congratulates the winners of the 2011 NSW Sports Safety Awards held at Sydney Olympic Park today.
Major sporting organisations, regional clubs as well as schools and universities were among 18 winners in awards that were presented across seven categories.
The 14th annual awards recognise outstanding achievement in research, injury prevention and promotion of safe sport practices.
The 2011 winners were acknowledged for a range of initiatives that included developing safety swing gates for cricket training nets, development of a hot weather policy for football and improving sweep accreditation practices for dragonboating.
Winning initiatives included training injury management volunteers to support school teams, involving students to design safety rules for playground sports and encouraging students to become formally accredited as officials to understand safe ethical play.
