Volleyball Slap Saga: Safe Sport Act Needed Now More Than Ever

In light of the recent viral video where a U14 coach was filmed slapping two of his players, an incident that's only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to protecting children's welfare as well as the safety of grassroot sport. Enter the Safe Sport Act - a nationwide initiative that aims to create a safe space where participants can train, compete and thrive without fear of physical, psychological or sexual misconduct. A project helmed by ex-gymnast Sarina Sundara Rajah, she joins us on the programme as we dissect & explore how incidents like this can be curbed moving forward.
