Good Sports Accreditation Update 2017
This content has been archived. It may no longer be relevant
We have been busy working with local sports clubs across the North East of Victoria to deliver the Good Sports program to kick start 2017!
What is Good Sports?
Good Sports works together with local sporting clubs to build a healthier sporting nation. Supporting local sports clubs, social teams and elite clubs at the pinnacle of their profession.
The Good Sports program has helped over 7000 sporting clubs across Australia provide a safe and inclusive environment, where everyone can get involved.
The key strategy of Good Sports is the accreditation program. The three level accreditation criteria consist of a set of alcohol management standards for clubs that serve and consume alcohol. A Good Sports Project Officer assists club committee members through the entire process.
Sport North East Project Coordinator, Andrew Bowden had plenty of praise for the clubs participating. ‘Clubs have been very receptive and shown great commitment to the program, it has been a great start to 2017 and with a number of other clubs organising accreditations dates we should continue to see clubs move through the three levels. Another positive is the mix of sports involved with golf, cricket, tennis, and football netball clubs all getting involved’.
Clubs who have been accredited so far in 2017 include –
- Myrtleford Lawn Tennis Club
- Dederang Golf Club
- Dederang Cricket Club
- Walwa Golf Club
- Yackandandah Football Netball Club
- Barnawartha Football Netball Club
- Federal Football Netball Club
