  • Work Underway on New Elite Women's Facilities at Ikon Park.Pdf Pdf 199.59 KB
    Wednesday, 27 January 2021 WORK UNDERWAY ON NEW ELITE WOMEN’S FACILITIES AT IKON PARK Purpose-built AFLW change rooms and an elite indoor training facility will level the playing field for women footballers at Ikon Park, with work underway on the landmark project. On the eve of the 2021 AFLW season, Minister for Tourism, Sport and Major Events Martin Pakula today joined Carlton president Mark LoGiudice, AFLW stars Maddy Prespakis and Tayla Harris and Federal Minister for Superannuation, Financial Services and the Digital Economy Jane Hume at Ikon Park to view progress. Prior to the pandemic, women’s football in Victoria was booming and with the anticipated return of community footy in 2021, that trend is set to continue. The establishment of the AFLW in 2017 was a game-changer, with Ikon Park hosting a sell-out crowd of nearly 25,000 people at the first-ever AFLW match between Carlton and Collingwood. The 2021 AFLW season kicks off tomorrow night at Ikon Park with the Blues again hosting the Magpies. Current match-day facilities are below par and the project will see the demolition of the Pratt Stand and the construction of a match-day pavilion with AFLW-standard change rooms, an elite indoor training facility and better views into the ground from Princes Park. The existing training and administration building will be refurbished and upgraded to provide AFLW and AFL players and staff access to the same facilities and resources, reinforcing a culture of gender equality throughout the club. Lighting will also be upgraded to allow broadcasting of AFLW night matches.

    SPORTS WITHOUT BORDERS Sports Participation Conference & Sports Technology Expo 2014 Friday, 2 May 2014 - Moonee Ponds, Melbourne Win or Lose: Is it really how you play the game? The essential event for every grassroots sporting group, administrator and community leader in local communities and local government ourcommunity.com.au 1 Sports Without Borders! Drugs, betting scandals, misbehaving heroes, controversial trade deals – professional sport is often in the news for all the wrong reasons. Happily, amateur sports usually fare better. At the grassroots, it's all about fun, health and social inclusion. (At least, it should be.) Competition is still important but in the final analysis, it's how you played the game that truly matters. In Australia, our sports values are intricately entwined with our community values – for Australians to affiliate themselves with a game, a team, a club, they want to be sure that everyone's getting a fair go and enjoying joining in. This conference will provide the inspiration and the practical support to ensure sports participants, administrators, volunteers and supporters get it right and get everyone involved. Key takeaways: • How to foster an ethical framework without compromising a winning spirit • Meet people who care about what you care about • Get inspiration for the year ahead • How to get more people involved in your club • How to raise money without burning out your members • How to use technology to recruit and retain players and supporters Why should I attend? The 2014 Sports Without Borders Conference brings together the complete picture – sportspeople, club officials, volunteers, policymakers, government funders, government and local government workers, peak bodies, and sports administrators.
