Brief Overview
The series of guidance document will cover various areas of safeguarding within sport that aim to assist sports organisations, clubs, associations, facility operators, coaches, officials, volunteers, parents, and participants in creating and maintaining safe environments that promote dignity, privacy, wellbeing, and protection from harm.

The Malta Sport Coaches Association (MSCA) was pleased to welcome the Malta Football Coaches Association (MFCA) for a cordial and constructive meeting this morning.

It was evident that both associations have an important role to play in advancing the recognition, development and professional standing of coaches in Malta. While the MFCA has a specific focus on football coaches, the MSCA represents the wider coaching community across all sports throughout the Maltese Islands.

Both parties agreed that the way forward is to work hand in hand—respecting their distinct roles while remaining united by a shared goal: to support coaches and elevate the coaching profession in Malta.

We look forward to translating this positive meeting into meaningful collaboration and joint initiatives between the MSCA and the MFCA.

From Coaches, for Coaches!
