Norway is better, putting CHILDREN’S RIGHTS IN SPORT into law in 2007.
1. SAFETY Children have the right to practice in an environment that is safe and secure, without any inappropriate pressure or exploitation. Children under 6 years should be accompanied by an adult to help avoid accidents and prevent injuries.
2. FRIENDSHIP AND ENJOYMENT Children have the right to participate in training and competitive activities which are designed to help develop friendship and solidarity amongst them.
3. COMPETENCY Children have the right to experience the feelings of competency and to learn a varied skill-set. They should also be given the opportunity to experience variation in their sports, training and interactions with others.
4. INFLUENCE Children have the right to express their own opinions and that their opinions should be considered. Children should have the opportunity to participate in planning sessions and can execute their own ideas in sports activities with their coaches and parents.
5. THE FREEDOM TO CHOOSE Children have the right to choose which sport, or how many sports they wish to participate in. Children have the right to determine how much they wish to practise their sport.
6. COMPETITIONS FOR ALL Children have the right to choose whether they would like to participate in competitions, and should have equal opportunities to participate. Children transferring from one club to another in the same sporting discipline have the right to compete in competitive sports for the new sport club, as soon as the registration is completed.
7. ON THE CHILDREN’S TERMS Children have the right to participate in training and competition activities that are suitable to their age, physical development and maturation level.
