ELEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF OPERATIONS FOR THE 2016 SEASON 1. INTRODUCTION As I look back over the past 12 months I would like to recognise the efforts of our football community whose energy and commitment have continued to deliver a positive football experience to all our stakeholders. Firstly, I would like to thank the many hard working volunteers that support our clubs. Many hold multiple roles, yet in the very competitive Sydney sporting scene, and with the ever expanding non football interests available, it is a credit to all those that have continued to consolidate and grow AFL Sydney Juniors. I would like to thank Andrew Hurrell, Steve Edwards and their 2015 Regional Committees for their dedicated work in continuing to provide the broader Sydney football community with a quality environment for families to participate and enjoy our great game. Our Umpire group across both Regions continues to impress me. We have a very young Umpire group, supported by a dedicated volunteer group. Many fit umpiring in with their own football obligations, their studies and social activities, yet they turn up each week and play a vital role in maintaining standards and discipline that are so important to the enjoyment and growth of AFL in Sydney. To Parents and Coaches please continue to respect our Umpires – and a reminder that approaching Umpires remains a NO GO ZONE. Please support their development and enjoyment of their role. Let them do their job. AFL NSW/ACT staff continue to support our game, along with the administration and development roles, they have continued to drive the growth in girls football and continue to support the development, standards and professionalism of our Umpiring group. Looking forward, AFL Sydney Juniors will continue to focus on providing the best possible sporting environment for our Players and their families. We will continue to work with our Regional Committees and our Clubs to identify opportunities to consolidate and enhance participant experience. We have recently developed and released new initiatives like the Presidents Guidelines, a Wet Weather Check website, the AFL Sydney Juniors Communication Guidelines and developed an all accountability process that recognises and rewards positive behaviour at our games on match day. We will continue to look at ways in which we can make it easier for all our volunteers. Finally I would like to thank the other members of the Sydney Juniors Executive who have continued to work towards a better experience and a safer football environment for all participants. To all Players, Coaches, Clubs and Regional Committees – I wish you the very best for the 2016 season. Continue to enjoy the AFL experience. David Burgess, Chairman 2 ENVIRONMENT REPORT AFL Sydney Juniors promotes a safe, enjoyable and competitive football environment that remains true to the spirit of the game. We seek to achieve this in a number of ways. Our Codes of Conduct apply to Players, Coaches, Officials and supporters alike. The Tribunal adjudicates reports from Umpires, Regional Committees, Sydney Juniors Administration and citing’s. Reward E Points, successfully trialled in season 2016, rewards good team behaviour. AFL Sydney Juniors Vilification and Discrimination Policy specially deals with issues of vilification and discrimination. AFL Sydney Juniors fully supports and endorses the AFL Child Protection Policy. This enables children to develop and enjoy their sporting experience in the safest environment possible, protected from the risks of harm or abuse. Updated Child Protection Legislation with respect to sporting volunteers, which commenced on 1 April 2016, has been applied since 1 April 2015. AFL Sydney Juniors assists all Clubs and Regions to fully comply with their obligations under the Child Protection Legislation, which support includes an ongoing education program and other assistance. Conduct issues are dealt with by the Tribunal, which determines reportable offences, as well as by Code of Conduct Investigating Sub Committees (ISCs) and Club Code of Conduct Committees. In 2016, the Tribunal dealt with 29 Tribunal hearings (24 in 2016). There were 2 Club Reports (9 in 2015) dealt with by Investigating Sub Committees and 38 out of 39 Prescribed Penalty Offers in 2016 were accepted (16 of 16 accepted in 2015). When we consider that in 2016 there were over 11,200 Players, including 3400 Auskickers, involving 440 teams and many hundreds of Officials and thousands of spectators, it remains clear that due to the vigilance of the Clubs and Regions, conduct issues continue to involve only a very small number of Players, Officials and spectators. On behalf of the AFL Sydney Juniors Executive, I would like to thank all volunteers who assisted in these issues in 2016, at Club level, Regional level, the Club Code of Conduct Committees, ISCs and the Tribunal I look forward to another successful season in 2017.
