  • AFL Victoria Affiliates FROM: Stephen O’Donohue – Head of Community Football Victoria DATE: May 16, 2020 SUBJECT: AFL Victoria Return to Play Protocols and Date
    M E M O R A N D U M TO: AFL Victoria Affiliates FROM: Stephen O’Donohue – Head of Community Football Victoria DATE: May 16, 2020 SUBJECT: AFL Victoria Return to Play Protocols and Date To our AFL Victoria Football Community, This week we saw the announcement from the elite game of its planned roadmap to Return to Play. We are now in a position to be able to share more definitive plans in terms of what this means for community football in Victoria. Returning to play in a safe, hygienic and controlled manner is paramount to the AFL. The safety and wellbeing of our participants is our number one priority. As such, our return to play strategy has been focused on ensuring we have the clear endorsement of State Government and public health officials at every phase of return. Each State Government is responsible for determining what level Australian football is in their State and approving when we can transition into the next stage. Following Victorian Government advice around the return of community sport this week, AFL Victoria will release its return to train protocols early next week and is endorsing a return to club sanctioned training from Monday, May 25. This timing will provide the opportunity to communicate our protocols with Leagues and allow volunteers and clubs time to digest the protocols, go through an education period and prepare themselves ahead of returning to club sanctioned training. In summary, the return to train protocols for community football in Victoria will enable: - Training to resume in groups of up to 10 people.

    AFL PREFERRED FACILITY GUIDELINES State, Regional, Local, School and Remote Facilities (2019) AFL Preferred Facility Guidelines State, Regional and Local Facilities (2019) Page 1 FOREWORD Close to 3,000 grounds are currently used for Australian football. This number is increasing each year due to the strong participation growth being experienced in our game in all corners of our nation. Our need for facilities continues to expand to support participation growth and the changing profile of participation. Increasing the capacity of grounds and pavilions and the development of facilities that welcome all participants and umpires has never been more important. The industry is heavily focused on developing the right plans in collaboration with Councils, clubs and all other stakeholders in each project. When done well, this maximises any returns on investment through increased participation levels, club sustainability and community wellbeing. We trust that the AFL Preferred Facilities Guidelines will be an effective tool that assists us all to achieve this for your next key project.
