OPINION: Community sport must be ready to meet post-coronavirus challenges

Contrary to some belief, early teens don't just give up sport because they don't like it. Often they quit because they haven't acquired the necessary skills to compete successfully at an older age group against bigger and better players.

In this context, it will have been dispiriting for community cricket clubs in Victoria to have learned the first victim of that state's cost-cutting measures was a large proportion of the so-called Field Force of regional cricket managers and club officers who provided expert advice for clubs.This seemed the most self-defeating measure a body squeezed by fund cutting could make.

The screens we generally abhor are currently an asset, with those local footy clubs using them inventively to conduct online skills and trick shot competitions, or basketball and netball clubs holding virtual fitness and training sessions. This should mean that — even if no games are played — the season is not completely lost for those clubs who seize the opportunity.Time are tough. Are our big four banks equipped for recession?

'This is the storm': Inside the call centre dealing with Australia's abusive men - ABC NewsWith coronavirus lockdowns shaping patterns of domestic abuse behind closed doors, the Men's Referral Service has seen an increase in calls from men seeking help with their own violent behaviour. From what I have personally witnessed and had to deal with repeatedly... even though I do not believe there exists any formal study on this... there should be... I believe strongly that a lot of the violence from men is spawned by the games of football. Gee, perhaps they hang up quickly because they soon realise that they are being screened as perpetrators in denial. And then even if taken seriously there is no-one to refer them to anyway Feminism means GenderBias not GenderEquality

Forging a path through the agony of motherhood ambivalence - ABC NewsWomen are increasingly willing to admit to their struggle to decide whether to have kids. But that doesn't make it any easier to unravel the tricky feelings — and complicating factors, like the coronavirus — it can throw up, writes Samantha Selinger-Morris. I think folks should have kids yes, we had five, now we have grandkids. We need to continue to work to improve our environment, and meanwhile yes, we should have kids, absolutely Evolution removes the ambivalent.
