Athletes’ Council
The Athletes Council plays an important role in the success and integrity of the SFC. By
providing a platform for athletes’ voices to be heard, the Council ensures that the unique
perspectives and needs of our athletes are at the forefront of SFC’s decision-making.
This collaborative approach fosters a culture of inclusivity, empowerment, and transparency,
ultimately driving the organization towards achieving its goals. The Athletes Council not only
champions the interests of our athletes but also helps to uphold the SFC values of
accountability, excellence, inclusivity and respect & care, that define our organization.
