Introduction
|
| The AFL Junior Policy is designed to promote measures that will maximise the enjoyment and development of young players. As Andrew Demetriou explains – they are the Next Generation … |
... We want to maximise the recruitment and retention of players and umpires. Our research tells us that retaining both groups in the game is a function of quality and, at its most basic level, the quality of the experience is assessed by how the game is conducted. For this reason, in collaboration with our state affi liates and expert consultants, we have developed a comprehensive junior policy to provide clear direction for the provision of appropriate pathways for all boys and girls in safe, enjoyable and accountable environments. ... It is vital that providers of junior football are
familiar with, and adopt, the procedures contained in this policy to ensure participating boys and girls have a fun, safe and positive football experience.
