PRINCIPAL PARTNER: COMPPS
The Coalition of Major Professional and Participation Sports (COMPPS) is made up of the following member organisations:
- Australian Football League;
- Cricket Australia;
- Football Federation Australia;
- National Rugby League;
- Netball Australia;
- Rugby Australia; and
- Tennis Australia.
Each of these sports is the governing body and custodian of a major participation and professional sport in Australia.
All COMPPS members are not-for-profit bodies and are responsible for the long-term development and sustainability of their sports.
Our sports represent the interests of more than 16,000 sporting clubs, 112 professional sport teams, many senior and junior national representative teams, three Olympic and Paralympic sports and more than nine million participants who partake or engage in our sports one way or another every day of the year. When participation numbers are combined with the mass of Australians who watch and support the seven sports in their professional mode, the reach across the lives of Australians on a regular basis is significant.
Sport, including through sporting ambassadors, can play a unique and leading role in promoting inclusiveness, diversity and community cohesion. COMPPS members are committed to ensuring that their sports offer inclusive, diverse and safe environments where every person is treated with respect and dignity.
COMPPS sports provide additional and unique opportunities that derive from being club-based sports. These benefits include learnings, experience and values that are built, particularly in a child’s formative years and that carry through adult life in all spheres, not just the sporting arena – teamwork, leadership, selflessness, commitment, accountability, camaraderie, respect, grace and humility in defeat and victory, discipline, resilience and belonging.
Recognising the power of sport to unify Australians, COMPPS is proud to sponsor Pride in Sport and continue the commitment of its member sports to ensure the benefits of participation in sport extend to all Australians.
