Victoria Police Blue Ribbon Foundation

Spirit of Football Awards Program

Reducing youth violence and aggressive attitudes.

By rewarding fair play on our footy fields.

We aim to impress upon young people that winning at all costs is not as important as how we play the game and how we treat and respect others who are also trying to achieve enjoyment from the sport.

The Best Player may not only be the most talented footballer, he should also be an ambassador for our sport and a role model for other competitors.

At each match the field umpires will choose the two most prominent players from each competing team and award them 1 to 10 points for:

• Skill Level/Playing Performance.

• Behaviour/Team Spirit/Sportsmanship

• Courtesy Respect for Officials
