Playing with Pride research report
Produced in partnership with PwC and Pride in Sport, this report examines the experiences of LGBTQ+ people in Australian community sport and what clubs can do about it. Essential reading for club leaders and administrators serious about inclusion.
Read the report →Education sessions
Education sessions are completely free for registered community clubs. Pride Cup delivers sessions for clubs, associations, and schools across Australia. Topics include inclusive language, understanding LGBTIQ+ experiences in sport, and bystander action.
Request a session →Inclusive language guide
Language shapes culture — and in sport, the words we use on and off the field matter. This practical guide from the Victorian Government covers inclusive terminology for LGBTIQA+ identities, helping coaches, administrators, and players communicate with respect and confidence. An essential reference for any club serious about belonging.
