I The acceptance of such guidelines or principles by ~ the League is of the utmost importance for the futu·re of ..l the code. Without the adoption and implementation of such principles the determination of districts loses most of its value. Consequently,_ to ensure that the maximum value can be achieved from the determination of District·Club Boundaries certain principles and recommendations have been included in this report. 1· i l I 1· i i. i PRINCIPLES RELATED TO THE DETERMINATION OF DISTRICT CLUB BOUNDARIES I In order to ensure that maximum growth and strengthening of the.code in each distric.t can be accomplished· .it is essential that the following ·l principles be adopted. b J • 1. Each District Club must have as its policy the resP<>nsibility for football within its District from the youngest to the oldest player. 2. Each District Club must ·have as its aim the ultimate introduction of the game into all schools and youth organisations within its District • .· 3. Each District Club should hav~ its Connnittee t~ adminisfer its ( , <( junior and school activities and this C.ommittee should have' representation on the Management Committee of the Club. It is essential that there be complete integration of senior and junior football within the District Club. 4. Ari ultimate type of District Club Composition is set out on Page 3.• 5. Each District Club should implement a definite and methodical Plan for Growth of Junior Teams within its district. One possible approach is set out in the attached "Plan for Growth of Junior Teams Based on Primary School Areas within the District.". (Page 4) 6. Every junior player within the district should be given membership of the District Club to develop Club loyalty. ·r '-./ 7. Members of.the families from whence "junior players come should be encouraged to become members of the District Club. 8. Maximum advantage should be taken by each District Club of the League's Coaching Cl~nics to increase the availability of coaches and to improve the ,standard of coachi.ng. I 2 •J: I - 2 - \ In relation to the composition and the operations of the League the following principles should be adopted. L Each District Club should have equal representation on the Sydney .League. ' There should be no such thing as first division and second ~ division districts. l• 2. No District Club should be permitted to have a Team in the 1st Division of the Senior Competition, or possibly even the 2nd Division, if it is not carrying out a Plan for Growth of Junior Teams in a satisfactory or proper manner. 3. Season Tickets for Adult admission to Senior games should be introduced, wi.th District Clubs receiving commission according to the number of sales within the District. An incentive to purchase season tickets could well be in the.form of tickets etc. to the V.F.L. Grand Final for the holders of .. certain numbered season tickets. Such ticket sales should be particularly directed towards the parents of junior players. rl, .. - 3 - ULTIMATE DISTRICT CLUB COMPOSITION . I .) .._ .

'· FACTORS WHICH HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED ,• , ' In determining the ~st appropriate Club Boundaries within the Sydney Metropolitan Area five factors have been taken into account. I: 1. The population and population trends within each area. i ! ; i' f;! ' 2. The number of primary schools within each area. 3. The possibility of incorporating a full municipal area .or a combination of.complete municipal areas within the Club area. ( ' 4. The desirability that the physical area of each district should not be excessive or unmanageable in size and that it should form a logical geographical area. s. The possibility of incorporatin~ in present district ·i l:i boundaries any areas where .it is considered that there is ! ,,.! i J' potential for future development of new district· clubs. ·_, I !d {. ; 1, I 6 jI I:i i ' I , I i: 11 - 6 ;..; !· " I \ 1.

However, rather than aim for 30 District. Clubs in Sydney it would appear more logical to have a smaller number of District Clubs each providing a First Grade Senior Team of high standard. It is proposed therefore, that each Club's District should contain: (a) a population which exceeds 100,000 at present; or (b) a population which is.
