Who's this for?
Players & Umpires
Ahead of the Game uses sport to connect with young people aged 12-18 years, and teaches them the skills to stay mentally fit and resilient. Helping young people build the capability and skills to look after their own wellbeing, and support their mates when times are tough, is critical to lifelong mental health.
Parents
Ahead of the Game helps parents understand and recognise mental health challenges in young people. Parents are encouraged to start a conversation about mental health, and the program raises awareness of where to go for help.
Coaches & Volunteers
Ahead of the Game helps coaches and club volunteers understand and recognise potential mental health challenges among their players.
