  • 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.

    Community Club Sustainability Program Overview April 2018 The background to the Community Club Sustainability Program …. AFL NSW/ACT believes that ensuring competitions are competitively balanced is critical to safeguarding the ongoing viability and sustainability of competitions and clubs. Even and fair competitions lead to increased interest and provide a better experience for stakeholders, which leads to stronger competitions and clubs. The future sustainability of community football will be built upon highly competitive leagues, where costs are controlled and are within the fundraising means of volunteer administrators. Competitive balance measures already exist in some leagues in NSW/ACT, however with AFL Victoria investing significant time and energy into the development of a state-wide system, AFL NSW/ACT are now implementing a similar regime to achieve improved competitive balance outcomes and also consistency across the states. While more relevant to some leagues than others, the significant movement of players between community clubs and the lack of focus on junior/ senior alignment and youth development across community leagues, has been identified as a key issue affecting the sustainability of community football. 2 The national direction to ensure the future sustainability of competitions and clubs …. • In 2015, the AFL undertook a national Future Directions of Australian Football project which, amongst other things, made a series of recommendations to drive future growth and sustainability of state and community football. • The Future Directions of Australian Football report (2016) recommended the implementation a competitive balance framework for state and community football competitions across Australia to address sustainability, youth development and competitiveness issues. • In South Australia and Victoria, all community leagues have adopted a standard Community Club Sustainability Program which includes a player points system and a salary cap.
