Everybody loves a club function, we celebrate for lots of different reasons particularly coming to the end of the season. These events are an important part of our lifestyle and vital to the ongoing success of clubs. They’re also a great opportunity to acknowledge the incredible efforts of players, volunteers and supporters – those people that make our club community so special.
The best celebrations are events where everyone feels safe and involved. Ensuring all club members have an understanding of expected behaviour is important. Whether at a club event, or representing the club in the broader community, all club members should be proud to celebrate their team in a respectful way, representing the club in a manner which reflects the club’s values and policies.
Good Sports is Australia’s largest and longest running health initiative in community sports. A program of the Alcohol and Drug Foundation, Good Sports aims to build stronger communities by championing positive change and helping to create family-friendly thriving clubs.
