Benefits of De-escalation & Workplace Violence Prevention Training for Sport Venue Workers
Resolution Education’s De-escalation and Workplace Violence Prevention training helps reduce violent outbursts from both sports players and the public, who are often highly excited and sometimes intoxicated – which can tip into aggression quickly when things in a game don’t go their way. Whether it’s fans of opposing teams arguing, or attendees being aggressive towards staff, many kinds of altercations are possible.
While sports venues and events are known for violent outbursts, they don’t have to be. We train staff at all levels, from ticket sellers and attendants to coaches and venue owners. Resolution Education looks deeply at how your organization works. What are the day-to-day processes? How does violence occur? Then, we craft training specifically to protect your employees. As they take our courses, all employees are clear on their role in conflict resolution.
We use the proven learning techniques of our signature A.D.P. Framework (Awareness, De-escalation, Protection) to train your staff, along with role-playing scenarios that reflect realistic violent outbursts within your organization. This builds levels of skills, from the basics of conflict resolution to the complexities. All staff are trained to the correct level, know their role in an altercation, and are given techniques based on what may occur in their job. With the knowledge of how to prevent aggression all the way up to what to do after a violent outburst, employees are given confidence and peace-of-mind in their resolution abilities.
Comprehensive Training for Sporting Venues and the Events Industry
Training for Sporting Venues
Sports venue and event workers can face many difficult scenarios with players, fans, media, coaches, members of the public, or even their own staff. In the highly emotional space of a sports game, some people are not in their usual level of capacity and can become agitated, upset and angry easily – especially if their team loses.
It’s extremely important that your employees are able to handle such situations and keep themselves, their coworkers, sports teams and their managers, attendees, and the public safe.
We believe everyone should feel safe in their occupation, with the ability to de-escalate or deal with altercations with minimum complications. That means we give your staff the confidence to protect themselves and others.

- Planners and organizers
- Caterers
- Waitstaff
- Venue owners and staff
