The Community Club Coach By Luke Rayner Community football senior coaches who embrace their club in its entirety will reap the rewards. Previous research suggests coaches are the most influential people at club level in community football and there is no doubt in my mind this is the case. The community coach has many areas of influence including, but not limited to, club culture, values, player/coach/parent conduct, game style, the club‟s medical team, social environment, processes and procedures. Given this, I believe clubs need to ensure their senior coach is suited to taking on the roles and responsibilities of being a club coach, and can control quality programs throughout the junior and senior levels of the club. Good coaching helps to create the best learning environment, while also maximising the motivation and enjoyment of all players. The senior coach, who is likely to be the best credentialed coach at the club, needs to put time into developing all of the club‟s coaches, providing education, resources and a support network, which will help establish a one-club approach. I acknowledge many community coaches are already time poor and may be thinking these things are unachievable or just further burdens in an already busy role. However, with thorough planning and creative use of resources, and by engaging fellow coaches and relying on the help of a driven junior coordinator, it can be achieved quite easily. If you can see the outcomes you want to achieve and use these as motivation, this will drive the process. Think of having one united club, shared core values, game-style principles that are implemented on a staged basis through all age groups with similar messages constantly reinforced, coaches coaching to a playbook of consistent drills and a code of conduct suit- able to all ages. This will help improve the players‟ development, knowledge of our game, transition from age group to age group and love for their club. Since joining the Torquay Tigers Football Club last season with a vision to be a club coach, we have been able to introduce the following strategies and initiatives that have started our journey to becoming one club with amazing coaches, resources and support: Tigers Way Handbook – a comprehensive ,, coaching guide on club values, game-plan principles, line behaviors, team objectives, drills and skills, game sense and full-ground activities. A living document that is updated regularly with input from coaches at all levels. Three club coaching seminars in 2009 with more planned for 2010. All coaches from our 16 junior teams and three senior teams attend these nights. I facilitate open discussion on Tigers Way, relevant topics and issues that may have arisen, and encourage the sharing of ideas and support among the coaches. A minimum two training visits by our senior players to all junior teams. They either take training or participate with the kids. This helps to develop club links, provides variety for the coaches and encourages the kids to come and watch senior football and develop a love for their club. These are some of the initiatives a club coach can undertake without too much effort. While in its infancy our program is already seeing: - Improved synergy between our junior and senior ranks. -Improved player transition between age groups. -Improved training methods. -Better knowledge of our game style. -Greater enthusiasm among coaches due to the support programs. -The engagement and motivation of players due to our new strong game-sense focus. Investing in your coaches at all levels means you are investing in your club as a whole and the environment you are provid- ing for participants. For those that embrace the role of club coach I assure you it will be one of your most satisfying coach- ing achievements. Luke Rayner is club coach and senior coach at Torquay Tigers Football Club and is an accredited AFL High Performance Coach. This article was written as part of the requirements for the AFL High Performance Coach Accreditation Course Have you the Moves to Coach an AFL team? Do you see yourself as a Chef? Maybe a receptionist? Or even doing the muzzle! You probably al- ready have! The Championship Moves ‘real champs look out for their mates’ campaign pro- motes a range of „moves‟ that could be used to keep your mates out of trouble when out on the town. AFL Victoria has chosen to partner with the Victorian Government to promote the Championship Moves campaign to help tackle the issue of alcohol-related violence. Throughout the football sea- son, AFL Victoria will undertake a variety of activities to help encourage young adult players (in particular the 18 – 24 age group) to look out for themselves and their mates both after the game and when they‟re out on the town. Alcohol-related violence is a big issue affecting our communities, particularly young people. The statistics reveal the prevalence of the problem, as an average year in Victoria will see 1500 as- saults in licensed premises, 10 - 15,000 people apprehended for public drunkenness, 2000 assaults involving young people affected by alcohol and 759 alcohol-related deaths. Over the coming months, AFL coaches and AFL Victoria Development Managers will be making presentations to community coaches to request their support by taking these important messages back to players and club officials. Coaches are encouraged to get involved and with the support of the AFL Coaches Association through Danny Frawley, ten opportunities to be an AFL coach for a day are being offered to community coaches. By doing a presentation at your club you can register for this fantastic opportunity to spend a day at an AFL club to further enhance your coaching knowledge and understanding of the game. In as much, it is clear to see the misuse of alcohol is having a major impact on our society. Closer to home, this is also an issue that affects the AFL football community. The Victorian Government is implementing a range of measures such as tougher liquor license regulations and increased bans and fines for disorderly behaviour and possession of weapons. Yet, what is really important is personal responsibility and how young adults react in potentially violent situations and this is the focus of the Championship Moves campaign. They are a series of „moves‟ a mate can pull to keep his friend away from trouble. There‟s the move known as the „water boy‟ (giving a mate a bottle of water); the „muzzle‟ (cover your mate‟s mouth if he‟s shouting off at someone) and the „receptionist‟ (using a fake phone call to get him out of trouble).

  • ON the TAKE T O N Y J O E L a N D M at H E W T U R N E R
    Scandals in sport AN ACCOMPANIMENT TO ON THE TAKE TONY JOEL AND MATHEW TURNER Contemporary Histories Research Group, Deakin University February 2020 he events that enveloped the Victorian Football League (VFL) generally and the Carlton Football Club especially in September 1910 were not unprecedented. Gambling was entrenched in TMelbourne’s sporting landscape and rumours about footballers “playing dead” to fix the results of certain matches had swirled around the city’s ovals, pubs, and back streets for decades. On occasion, firmer allegations had even forced authorities into conducting formal inquiries. The Carlton bribery scandal, then, was not the first or only time when footballers were interrogated by officials from either their club or governing body over corruption charges. It was the most sensational case, however, and not only because of the guilty verdicts and harsh punishments handed down. As our new book On The Take reveals in intricate detail, it was a particularly controversial episode due to such a prominent figure as Carlton’s triple premiership hero Alex “Bongo” Lang being implicated as the scandal’s chief protagonist. Indeed, there is something captivating about scandals involving professional athletes and our fascination is only amplified when champions are embroiled, and long bans are sanctioned. As a by-product of modernity’s cult of celebrity, it is not uncommon for high-profile sportspeople to find themselves exposed by unlawful, immoral, or simply ill-advised behaviour whether it be directly related to their sporting performances or instead concerning their personal lives. Most cases can be categorised as somehow relating to either sex, illegal or criminal activity, violence, various forms of cheating (with drugs/doping so prevalent it can be considered a separate category), prohibited gambling and match-fixing.

  • AFL Coaching Newsletter - April 2009
    AFL Coaching Newsletter - April 2009 THE NEW SEASON Most community football leagues around Australia kick off this weekend or immediately after Easter and NAB AFL Auskick Centres commence their programs in the next month. This newsletter focuses on a range of topics which are relevant to the commencement of the 2009 Australian Football season. PLAYING AND TRAINING IN HOT CONDITIONS The new season generally starts in warm to hot conditions and there is always a lift in intensity once the premiership season proper starts. Regardless of the quality of pre-season training programs, early games are usually more stressful and players and coaches should keep safety factors associated with high intensity exercise in warm conditions in mind – these include individual player workloads (use of the bench), hydration and sun sense. The following article by AIS/AFL Academy dietitian Michelle Cort provides good advice regarding player hydration. Toughen Up - Have a Drink! Why are so many trainers necessary on a senior AFL field and why they are constantly approaching players for a drink during a game? Obviously the outcome of not drinking enough fluid is dehydration. The notion of avoiding fluid during sport to ‘train’, ‘toughen’ or ‘adjust’ an athlete’s body to handle dehydration is extremely outdated & scientifically incorrect. Even very small amounts of dehydration will reduce an AFL player’s performance. Most senior AFL conditioning, nutrition and medical staff invest considerable time into ensuring the players are doing everything possible to prevent significant dehydration from occurring in training and games. The effects on performance are not limited to elite athletes.

  • The International World of Sport and the Liability for Off-Field Indiscretions
    Bond Law Review Volume 23 | Issue 1 Article 3 2011 The nI ternational World of Sport and the Liability for Off-Field Indiscretions Chris Davies Follow this and additional works at: http://epublications.bond.edu.au/blr This Article is brought to you by the Faculty of Law at ePublications@bond. It has been accepted for inclusion in Bond Law Review by an authorized administrator of ePublications@bond. For more information, please contact Bond University's Repository Coordinator. The nI ternational World of Sport and the Liability for Off-Field Indiscretions Abstract The recent terminations of the contracts of NRL player, Joel Monaghan and the AFL’s Brendan Fevola, for off-field indiscretions, has highlighted the significance of the bringing the game into disrepute clauses contained in standard player contracts. Tiger Woods’ extra-marital affairs received extensive world wide media attention, and the outcome of this negative coverage was the loss of millions of dollars in sponsorship deals. This indicates that such contracts can be terminated on the basis that a sportsperson’s behaviour was having a negative impact on the sponsor’s image. It is for the same reason that sponsors have put pressure on the governing bodies of team sports to take appropriate action for off-field indiscretions. The Court of Arbitration in D’Arcy v Australian Olympic Committee, has also held that a competitor’s behaviour in an incident where criminal charges were laid, may, in itself be sufficient to bring a sport, or themselves, into disrepute, regardless of whether the competitor is later found guilty or innocent.
