A joint initiative led by the Public Safety Institute of the Balearic Islands and the Balearic Islands Football Federation continues to expand its efforts to prevent violence in grassroots football through targeted training actions. The latest session took place in Menorca, focusing on tutor police officers and aiming to extend their expertise from school environments to youth sports settings.

This initiative is part of a broader collaboration protocol designed to ensure early detection, prevention, and intervention in cases of violence within grassroots sports. The program stands out as an innovative approach, introducing coordinated actions between public institutions and sports organisations to address this issue from a comprehensive perspective.

The project against violence in grassroots football reaches tutor police officers in Menorca

The training is structured around three key areas: preventing violent behaviour among minors, raising awareness among families about the impact of their conduct, and equipping coaches with tools to identify and manage bullying or conflict situations. This integrated approach promotes safer and more educational environments for young athletes.

The three-hour session covered the topic from multiple viewpoints, combining the experience of tutor police officers, insights from the football federation, and the perspective of refereeing authorities. This multidisciplinary approach enhances practical knowledge and strengthens coordination among all stakeholders involved.

These training activities are part of an ongoing strategy already implemented in other islands and set to continue across the region. Such initiatives reinforce the commitment to eliminating violence in grassroots sports and ensuring safe environments for children and adolescents in all areas of development.
