03 TRINITY SPORT VALUES Sport values excellence, fairness in competition, camaraderie and the potential of what we can achieve, together. Trinity Sport reflects and honours the values of the University, and how they translate into the sports programmes and services. We do this through leadership that is committed, passionate and responsible and that cares for the outcomes that sport delivers to people. The Trinity Sport team exude an energy and enthusiasm for all forms of physical activity and sport that is to be commended. The professionalism, team spirit and willingness of staff to go the extra mile ensure student satisfaction and optimum engagement with other user groups. The Trinity Sport team are dedicated to making a significant impact. We believe in what we do, and we do what we believe. As the former Chairman of DUCAC, Professor Trevor West noted; ‘... University Sport can occasionally attain the sublime, it reaches fair but not too acerbic levels of competition; it is frequently interlaced with humour, it regularly results in true companionship ...’ xvii Overview of the University Values translated through Sport EXCELLENCE We are committed to developing sport and recreation services to the highest standard, where the needs of the student and other customers are a priority and that reaching their full potential is facilitated. DIVERSITY AND INCLUSIVITY Provide sports and recreation facilities, programmes and sports clubs that cater for the diverse needs of the University community. We will ensure where possible that services and programmes are adaptable, inclusive and inviting. ENGAGING We will provide opportunities to try new activities and enjoy an active lifestyle during the person’s time at Trinity. We will also provide for training and skills development in sports related areas. We will encourage a collegiate culture and engage proactively in partnerships. RESPONSIBLE GOVERNANCE Professional management of a wide range of sports facilities which are accessible, fit-forpurpose, safe and well maintained with transparent governance and support for sports clubs and students. We will be resourceful and prudent in the management of budgets and projects. EQUALITY We will support and respect equality in all aspects of the Trinity Sport offer and ensure those that may be underrepresented are provided with equal opportunities. COMMITMENT The Trinity Sport team will commit with energy, passion, professionalism and integrity in all our work. We will deliver on our obligations and work in a timely manner. As a result, we will expect these values to be reciprocated, shared and demonstrated on and off the sports pitches and courts, so much so that Trinity Sport students will be recognised for these values and will engage positively and constructively with fellow peers during their time in Trinity and beyond as Trinity graduates. Ultimately, all can proudly identify with Trinity Sport. xviii West, Trevor, The Bold Collegians, The Development of Sport in Trinity College, Dublin(Lilliput 1991) 10 RAISING OUR GAME A Strategy for Sport at Trinity 2015 - 2018
