SafeClub is the only safety program for community sport that has been scientifically researched and proven to work. With funding from the NSW Sporting Injuries Committee and assistance from Football NSW almost 70 football clubs were followed over a period of a year – half the clubs completed SafeClub training and the other half did not. As seen in the diagram below, 'SafeClub Vs Control SSAT scores' , all clubs had similar sport safety activities at the beginning of the season. By the end of the season the clubs that had completed SafeClub training had improved their sports safety activities by close to 50%. The SafeClub trained clubs also continued to show an improvement in their sports safety activities 12 months after training. Full research published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine
