  • AFL Sydney Strategy Guiding Principles
    AFL Sydney Strategy Guiding Principles October 2015 Strategic Framework The AFL Sydney Strategy Group has formulated a strategic framework which is aimed at guiding the ongoing development and success of community club football in Sydney. After consultation throughout AFL Sydney the following Purpose Statement, Strategic Pillars and Guiding Principles have been established. AFL SYDNEY PURPOSE STATEMENT To grow and enhance the community football experience in Sydney in a sustainable and inclusive way. AFL SYDNEY STRATEGIC PILLARS • Participation • Clubs • Talent AFL SYDNEY GUIDING PRINCIPLES Below each Strategic Pillar will sit three Guiding Principles. Future decisions around the development, growth and health of community club football in Sydney will be considered with specific reference to the relevant Guiding Principle. © Australian Football League 2013. This document is confidential and intended solely for the use and information of the addressee. 2 Guiding Principles - Participation The structure and rules of the AFL Sydney competition will evolve to encourage the ongoing growth of 1 football in greater Sydney. This will specifically ensure that entry level players have ample opportunity to participate in the competition in terms of both geographical accessibility and playing standard. In order to achieve the highest quality Premier Division competition, participation in Premier Division will require clubs to demonstrate strength and sustainability in finances, sponsorship, administration, 2 facilities, teams and on-field performance. Consideration will also be given to the geographic location of the club in order to ensure that the competition is representative of both demand and the Greater Sydney population base where possible. The AFL will co-ordinate its resources and work with clubs to promote the greatest possible participant 3 recruitment and retention, as well as transition from Auskick, school and juniors to senior football in order to maximise participation and ensure the ongoing sustainability of all clubs in Sydney.

  • AFL NSW/ACT STATEMENT 2021 AFL Sydney Community Football
    AFL NSW/ACT STATEMENT Monday, 16 August 2021 AFL Sydney community football season cancelled It is with regret that AFL NSW/ACT has made the difficult decision today to cancel the 2021 AFL Sydney community football season due to the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the current COVID-19 outbreak across Greater Sydney. This decision also extends to our NAB AFL Auskick programs in the region. The impacted competitions are: AFL Sydney Seniors AFL Sydney Harbour Juniors AFL Sydney Western Sydney Juniors All NAB AFL Auskick Centres We appreciate today’s announcement to cancel all AFL Sydney competitions for the season will disappoint our many players, coaches, umpires and volunteers who invest so much time, effort and energy in the season. AFL NSW/ACT shares in the immense disappointment to be unable to complete the 2021 competition in its entirety however today’s outcome is the unfortunate reality of the challenges the pandemic continues to throw at the community. AFL Sydney would like to take the opportunity to thank our stakeholders for the constructive feedback provided in enabling this difficult decision to be made. In reaching our decision, it became increasingly apparent that with the continued escalating health crisis there can be, understandably, no NSW Government sanctioned roadmap out of the lockdown for sport provided at the moment. It is equally clear that the timeframes of a possible return and ability to resume competitions are now not viable for winter sporting codes. Accordingly, no premierships, medals or awards will be given for 2021 cancelled competitions. We’d like to acknowledge the collegiate approach shown by our colleagues in the other major winter codes, particularly NSWRL, Football, Netball, Football, Rugby Union and Hockey, who have been forced to make similar heartbreaking decisions in relation to their own competitions.
