Weekend Sports Podcast - DDSL tackles abusive behaviour

Dublin’s Q102 and DDSL have joined forces to launch “IT’S MY GAME” an initiative to tackle abusive behaviour at kids’ football matches.


It's designed to address and prevent abusive behaviour at grassroots football matches across Dublin.


The aim is to create a positive, supportive environment for your players, coaches, referees and spectators, fostering respect on and off the pitch.


Chair of the DDSL, Niall O'Driscoll and Q102's Gary Bailey join Hazel Nolan to explain this pioneering move.
