Education

Drug Free Sport NZ (DFSNZ) provides education seminars on the use of drugs and doping methods in sport. 

DFSNZ has progressively increased its emphasis on the Education Programmes.  Education helps prevent athletes "inadvertently" committing Anti-Doping Rule Violations.

Drug Free Sport NZ Outreach Events are another Educational tool.  These are mainly targeted at Age Group and High School Level athletes and their events are aim to introduce up and coming athletes to the concept of anti-doping and drugs in sport. Some Outreach are also conducted at International Sporting events run in New Zealand.

DFSNZ produces a variety of material including pamphlets, fact sheets, and a video as well as running anti-doping seminars for groups of athletes, coaches and others.

National Sporting Organisations (NSO) also have a core responsibility to ensure that their members have all the information they need to understand, comply with and support the Anti-Doping Programme.
