Project CARE (Census of Athlete Rights Experiences) is a collaboration between the World Players Association and Loughborough University.
The World Players Association is the leading voice of organised players in the governance of world sport. It brings together 85,000 players across professional sport through more than 100 player associations in over 60 countries. The success of the project hinges on participation from key global and national player associations.
WE BELIEVE THAT PLAYERS ARE PEOPLE FIRST AND ATHLETES SECOND.
LIKEWISE, CHILD ATHLETES ARE CHILDREN FIRST, ATHLETES SECOND.

Project CARE (Census of Athlete Rights Experiences) aims to ensure that the rights of child athletes are promoted and protected throughout world sport.
A fundamental issue that World Players aims to address is the fact that the internationally recognized human rights of athletes are currently not embedded in world sport. Child athletes are particularly vulnerable to this gap.

Project CARE makes a significant contribution through addressing 3 important gaps:
GAP 1
GAP 2
The lack of representative testimonies from athletes regarding how their rights were respected in sport as children and the associated impact on their performance, health and wellbeing.
