Deniliquin Athletics is supporting the Shoosh for Kids Week campaign that is taking place this week in NSW.

Shoosh for Kids is a collaborative effort by the Sport and Recreation and the State Sporting Organisations with the aim to promote positive behaviour from those on the sidelines at state sporting organisation events throughout NSW.

Kids do not need to be verbally abused on the sports field, many kids participate in sport for fun and to spend time with their friends as well as making new friends along the way.

Officials also do not need any abuse hurled at them from spectators, this and the above are some of the reasons why some kids are no longer participating in sports.

Further information on Shoosh for Kids Week can be found on the official site.
