Children’s Rights in Sport – Norway
The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child 1990 does not include any direct reference to sports.
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.

In an effort to incentivize adding difficulty, the men’s program introduced a bonus system for domestic competitions, which allows the athletes to try out new, harder skills without risking their spots on the national team if they end up falling. It was a good start …
… The collapse of the USOPTC training program shortly after worlds last year came as a shock, but ultimately made sense as the relocation of most of the athletes to EVO Gymnastics in Sarasota, Florida came with massive benefits.
Under the leadership of three-time U.S. Olympic head coach Kevin Mazeika, along with former FIG executive Steve Butcher overseeing operations via the Powers Gymnastics Group, EVO is privately funded by investors and donors, and offers salaries and performance-based bonuses for select senior elite athletes to train full-time as professional gymnasts. …

UCLA Beam – loud, distracting music
Freshman Selena Harris said throughout beam practice in Westwood on Wednesday, the Bruins’ coaching staff played intentionally distracting music to help prepare the team for the atmosphere at the Red Rocks’ Jon M. Huntsman Center.
“The day before we left (for Utah), we trained beam with super obnoxious songs, and we played them super loud so that it could distract us,” Harris said.
“… That was horrible. But that was the whole point – to still do a strong beam routine while so much noise is happening.” …
