That figure does not include costs such as player incentives, coaches’ fees and other incidental costs such as building and infrastructure costs etc.
All memberships are to be paid by the end of April and instalments will be accepted. If no effort has been made or an arrangement been agreed upon then non-financial players will not be eligible for games. Consideration will be given if there is a valid reason why you cannot pay the fees by the due date. In this regard, please contact a member of the Committee.
Please note our new season membership card admits the member to GFL and Colts games. You may have to pay the full admittance at grounds if you are unable to produce your membership ticket at the entrance gate.

Personal Injury Insurance
The club holds Personal Injury Insurance with JLT Sport through our affiliation with Worksafe Victorian Country Football League. Personal Injury Insurance provides coverage for injuries sustained whilst participating in an activity under the following circumstances: An official match or training session. Travelling to or from an official club activity. Participating in an official club function. Tours or representative matches. What is generally covered: What is generally not covered: Physiotherapy x Doctor’s Fees Chiropractic x Surgeon’s Fees Dental x Anaesthetist’ Fees Non Medicare MRIs. x X-Rays Ambulance x Public Hospital Costs Private Hospital x MRI Scans (Medicare Claim) Accommodation
In addition to the level of insurance cover that is automatically supplied through our registration, the club has undertaken to increase this cover to the higher "Gold" level which provides for a 90% rebate with a $50 excess. The automatic coverage provides for an amount of $250,000 if a player is made quadriplegic or paraplegic through a football injury. The club has now increased this level to $1,000,000.
These upgrades give our players the best possible protection against serious injury and although quite a costly exercise, they have been done in the interests of player welfare. This coverage applies to all senior and junior teams.
As you can see the big ticket items are not covered therefore the club’s committee urges every player to take out private health cover. Fit – Health Insurance (underwritten by GMHBA) has some excellent Hospital + Extras packages which are designed for sporting people. Remember, these packages cover you 24/7 for the entire year, not just football participation only. Dale Hunt is the club insurance manager so if you need to make a claim on JLT Personal Injury Insurance or you wish to sign up with Fit - Health Insurance for a complete 24/7 Hospital + Extras package please contact Dale. Dale Hunt – Mobile: 0498 483 817, email: [email protected] We also advise players to consider personal injury protection cover. Club Sponsor Davidson’s can offer free information and a PERSONAL quote from Graeme Crofts on 0419 209 194 or 5244 6864. 3 South Barwon Football & Netball Club Member’s Handbook
Social Awareness
Our club has identified the importance of major life issues away from football and netball. Led by David Barnes (club vice president) and aided by our Chaplin Alistair Maddock, the club has developed a program aimed at our junior age groups, (boys) under 16 and 18 and (girls) under 15 and 17. Program Opportunities included. 1. Development of individual leadership traits. 2. Awareness of drugs and alcohol issues--- Responsible Serving of Alcohol. Approximately 100 of our young players (girls and boys) have completed the course over the past two years at no cost to themselves. 3. Awareness of mental health issues----Read the Play Program and Beyond Blue’s Look/Listen/Learn program. 4. Looking after Mates program. Exposure to local and community network. 5. Racial and Religious Tolerance Policy – accept people as they are (refer to appendices at the back of this book) 6. An address to the junior section footballers on the meaning and importance of ANZAC Day commemoration by Geelong Vietnam Veterans.
In recognition of the club’s efforts in addressing these issues we received an award in 2009 for the Most Outstanding Recreation Club and Well Being. The award was presented by the Barwon Region Mental Health Week Committee in conjunction with the Kardinia Rotary Club.
Football and netball clubs are so much more than just playing football and netball these days. As a club we will strive to continue the development work that David and Alistair commenced this year, with an aim to make our players better people in our community.
Please contact David Barnes on 0417 123 669 should you have any personal issues you would like to seek assistance or advice.

THE RACIAL AND RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE POLICY
Below is an outline of the policy, the full policy is available from the website at http://www.sportingpulse.com/club_info.cgi?c=1-6160-80521-0-10242512&sID=228085
Section 1 Commitment 1.1 The South Barwon Football & Netball Club is committed to an environment which promotes racial and religious tolerance by prohibiting certain conduct and providing a means of redress for victims of racial and religious vilification and/or racial discrimination. 1.2 The Club is bound by the Racial and Religious Tolerance Act 2001 (Vic), the Racial Discrimination Act 1975 (Cth), and the Equal Opportunity Act 1995 (Vic) (the legislation). This Policy is consistent with the legislation and the Australian Football League's Rule 30 and the Victorian Football League's Rule 7.3. This Policy is not in substitution of the legislation. 1.3 The Club will ensure that this Policy is communicated to spectators and participants of the Club. It will also ensure that participants of the Club receive anti-racial and religious vilification and racial discrimination training on an annual basis. 1.4 Nothing in this Policy prevents a person lodging a complaint in relation to racial and religious vilification and/or racial discrimination under the legislation.
THE CYBERSAFETY POLICY The Club has adopted the VCFL Cybersafety Policy which can be accessed at the website at http://www.sportingpulse.com/club_info.cgi?c=1-6160-80521-0-10242512&sID=223228 15 South Barwon Football & Netball Club Member’s Handbook
SMOKING
Please observe the new clubroom and McDonald Reserve precinct smoking policy. This policy supported by all levels of government can be viewed in two sections; - Under age sports participation - General amenity smoking
Under age sports participation
Under new smoking regulations (5RI (1) of the Tobacco Act 1987) smoking is banned within 10 metres (two car lengths) of any sporting playing surface and club facility during under age sporting activities.
To simplify Colts matches are regarded as under age by the Club and the ban relates to training, playing and other junior activities. Effectively this means that SMOKING IS NOT PERMITTED in the McDonald Reserve precinct during ANY junior sport. This includes netball and football surfaces and rooms and the playground.
For example;
General amenity smoking
Smoking is also banned in under cover areas, within 5 metres of an entry/exit door, and 5 metres of a canteen or food selling area. This means that smoking IS NOT PERMITTED in front of the FULL LENGTH of the clubrooms and coaching boxes and interchange areas.
Designated Smoking area
In discussion with Council and independent sporting assembly the Committee has commissioned a Designated Smoking Area which will be behind the senior coach’s box facing the second ground. This area can only be used outside junior participation hours.
