  • CAC Shortlisted For Beyond Sport Awards

    August 10th 2015. Coaches Across Continents is delighted to announce that we have been shortlisted at the illustrious Beyond Sport Awards 2015 in the UNICEF Safeguarding Children in Sport category. The nomination is CAC’s fourth at the Beyond Sport awards. Of these nominations we have two wins; ‘Best New Project‘ for the Hat-Trick Initiative in 2009 and ‘Corporate of the Year‘ for our partnership with Chevrolet in 2014.

    Since 2012 CAC has been part of the International Safeguarding Children in Sport Working group alongside organizations such as UNICEF UK, UK Sport, Beyond Sport and Comic Relief. This group spent two years developing The International Safeguards for Children In Sport, a set of global standards to safeguard all children participating in sport. In 2014 CAC piloted our Child Rights policy which has since been used at every partner program we have run in the last 18 months.

    Dr. Judith Gates, CAC Board Member and co-coordinator of this policy stated, ‘Through education and training in child protection strategies, Coaches Across Continents’ Safeguarding Children in Sport Initiative protects children, empowers coaches and changes cultural and community attitudes towards child abuse.  The single biggest practical insight from CAC’s safeguarding initiative is the need to “bring policy to life.” This requires a pragmatic approach in which   safeguarding policies are founded on local realities, but where there is knowledge of the pathway to be traveled and a clear understanding of the hallmarks of the optimal destination.’

    On the nomination CAC’s Founder and Global Strategist Nick Gates said, ‘It is an honor to be shortlisted for a Beyond Sport award, the leader in global sport for development awards, for the 2nd year in a row. Safeguarding children is at the forefront of everything we have done over the past few years so to be recognized for this work is a testament to the passion and ability of our incredible staff, volunteers, board, community partners, program participants and supporters.’

    In addition to our nomination, our global partners CREATA Kenya, Horn of Africa Development Initiative, Moving the Goalposts Kilifi and Football 4 Life Tacloban were also shortlisted for awards! Congratulations to all of them- the recognition is well deserved.

    We would like to thank Beyond Sport for the nomination and for recognizing our work on child protection. The Beyond Sport awards 2015 take place in London on October 19th-21st so stay tuned!

  • Coaches Across Continents/Chevrolet Shortlisted for Beyond Sport Award

    August 24th, 2014. Coaches Across Continents have been shortlisted for the 2014 Beyond Sport Awards. The prestigious global sport for social development awards selected the joint Coaches Across Continents and Chevrolet application in the highly competitive Corporate of the Year category. CAC’s work with Chevrolet in 2014 has been a resounding success with projects in Bandung, Indonesia and Chicago, USA completed earlier in the year. These projects have provided local partners Rumah Cemara and Beyond the Ball with the facilities, equipment and tools to create sustainable social change through soccer. The 3rd Chevrolet project of 2014 will take place in Hammanskraal, South Africa with Dreamfields in September.
