It is important to note the continuing stability of VACT’s core competition business and to recognise the hard work of a dedicated and effective volunteer workforce who service our clubs, State junior teams and other activities. Junior Development was identified as a strategic priority in 2007 and following a planning forum early in the year a number of initiatives were undertaken, including the commencement in May 2007 of a weekly junior competition targeted at high school and upper primary age participants. The structure and content of the State Junior team preparation program have continued to improve under the direction of a committed group of coaches and managers. In particular we are confident the alignment of technical preparation across age groups will assist in producing improved results in future national competition. In 2007 VACT entered teams in all but one division at National Junior Championships. The State League competition ran effectively during the reporting period with some growth in the number of teams competing in the league. Further development of our clubs has been identified as a key priority for the next period and some initial work has been undertaken to establish an understanding of the current level of organisational development of each of our clubs. It is imperative that the ACT Volleyball community is able to provide adequate opportunities for both new players and players aspiring to a higher level. Our clubs continue to be supported by a key group of volunteers that plays a critical role in keeping our sport vibrant. Our flagship event, the Good Neighbour Tournament, remained healthy in its 42nd year with 106 teams participating in the late November tournament. The tournament continues to attract entries from at least 4 states and remains the largest and most enduring of any club tournament in Australia. We are pleased to report a positive financial result for 2007-08 noting that ongoing financial viability of the association remains dependent on the stability of our competitions and the contributions of a large number of volunteers across a range of areas. VACT continues to enjoy the support of Sport & Recreation ACT who provide financial assistance to underpin our core operations. After 2 years with VACT Holly Richardson resigned the VACT General Manager role in August, with her efforts recognised through the awarding of the AVF Administrator of the Year Award. Alex Vallentine commenced as VACT General Manager in October and amongst other achievements to date has delivered a new image for VACT in the form of a vibrant modern logo. I would also like to thank the Board and VACT staff for their commitment during the year to improving the Volleyball experience on offer to the ACT community and to enhancing the profile and reach of Volleyball in the ACT. Phil Borgeaud President Volleyball ACT 7 TREASURER’S REPORT I am pleased to announce that for the financial year ending 30 June 2008, the ACT Volleyball Association recorded a profit of $40,536. Our financial report was again prepared by RSM Bird Cameron Chartered Accountants. The profit margin shows a healthy increase over the previous year’s outcome, which is in part due to good budgeting but is also attributable to an overall increase in team numbers within most of our competitions. Our grant income from Sport & Recreation ACT was again stable this year and an increase of teams competing in the Good Neighbour tournament has improved our final figures. The financial success of this past year owes a great deal to our General Manager, Alex Vallentine and I am expecting a similar if not better result next year. Gary Antognelli Vice President – Finance Volleyball ACT 8 GENERAL MANAGER’S REPORT Firstly I would like to thank the board, staff and Volleyball ACT community for their assistance and dedication to the sport since I took over the role of General Manager in October 2007. It was a hectic initiation period with the 42nd Good Neighbour tournament being held just a month after starting but it turned out the event was a major success with 106 teams from right across Australia competing and the Men’s Honours division in particular proving to be very strong. Good Neighbour continues to be a major source of operational revenue for VACT and as such all efforts need to be made to ensure the event continues to be well regarded and attended by the Australian volleyball community and also that the event continues being profitable. Our top level competitions continue to be successful, with both the VACT Cup and State League season attracting more team entries in 2008 than in 2007. Open League participation is down slightly while the Recreational Leagues continue to be highly consistent. We were very pleased to send a team in every division to the Australian Junior Volleyball Championships, held in Melbourne during July. It was a tough week of competition and we are hoping to improve performances at next year’s event. We also fielded 3 teams at the U15 Nationals in Albury, with the ACT Gold girl’s team in particular performing extremely well to finish 4th overall. VACT also sent 6 teams away to the National Junior Beach Championships and were very pleased with performance as all teams reached or passed their expected seeding for the event. The VACT office has undergone a full IT transformation during this period which has allowed the office and staff greater functionality and reliability which has improved communication and office effectiveness substantially. VACT was also pleased to release a new logo during the reporting period and it has proved to be hugely popular and well received by both the ACT and Australian volleyball communities. After a long period of service the outdated ‘Bird Logo’ was replaced by a vibrant and visually appealing modern logo. The Board of Volleyball ACT conducted a development forum in January to establish an achievable plan of action for 2008. The main outcomes from the forum included Club Development, Marketing, Communications and Junior Development. These outcomes were moulded into an action plan and work is being done in these areas to achieve VACT’s set goals. Our sub-committees continue to play an important role in providing advice and suggestions to management. As always the clubs forum and competitions committee continue to be the most active of our committees due to the vital role they play in ensuring that our competitions are appropriate to the needs of the members. Alex Vallentine General Manager 9 LEAGUES 10 LEAGUES ADMINISTRATOR REPORT I would like to start by extending my thanks to Megan Hughes, who did an excellent job in the Leagues Administrator role during my time overseas. A special thanks must also go to all court supervisors and referees, without whom our competitions could not operate, and to Bruce Fuda for his assistance in compiling the 2008 VACT Cup & State League draws. The 2007-08 period has been one of mixed results for Volleyball ACT competitions. State League has continued to build with a much healthier competition for the 2008 season. Open League Men’s Divisions One and Three remained strong, while Men’s Division Two and Women’s Division One along with some Recreational Leagues saw a decline in team numbers.

  • Section C C.1 Risk Management and Internal Audit
    Section C C.1 Risk Management and Internal Audit Internal Audit The Directorate’s Audit Committee oversees, on behalf of the Director-General, the Directorate’s governance, risk, compliance and internal control environments, and provides assurance as to their effectiveness. The Committee acts independently of management. The EDD Audit Committee Charter was reviewed and agreed (with only minor amendments) in November 2012. There were no changes to the membership of the Audit Committee during the financial year. Annual and forward audit programs are guided by governance, risk and compliance programs and are supported by an Audit Recommendations Implementation Register. The Directorate’s three-year internal audit program was agreed by the Senior Executive Committee and by the Audit Committee in November 2012, with the program including a balance of compliance and performance audits across the three years. A significant matter of interest for the EDD Audit Committee during this reporting year was the implementation of recommendations identified by the Auditor-General during the 2011-12 financial audit, to improve the control framework in place within the Directorate. By the end of the 2012-13 reporting year the majority of recommendations had been addressed and completed. The Audit Committee specifically congratulated the relevant areas of the Directorate on their work in documenting and improving governance and control processes. Four internal audits were completed during the reporting year, with a further three internal audits undertaken but not yet complete at the end of the year. The internal audits completed and presented to the EDD Audit Committee during the 2012-13 reporting year were: • Follow Up Audit – Territory Venues and Events – November 2012 • Review of credit card usage – May 2013 • Review of the payment of invoices – May 2013 • Review of salary acquittal reports – June 2013 The EDD Audit Committee met on six occasions during 2012-13.

The sporting field is where friendships are formed, life skills are learned and heroes are made — and this is why in 2013–14 the Australian Government invested almost $120 million in our national sporting organisations despite a challenging economic environment. In the past year the ASC has worked with sports to reform their governance structures and develop strategic and commercial capabilities. The ASC is determined to create better businesses — ones that will thrive in the years ahead — and we are leading the way with a lean and agile operating model and ongoing commitment to our own good governance. One of the highlights of 2013–14 was the Australian Government’s announcement of the Sporting Schools program. This $100 million program, which builds upon the successful Active After-school Communities program, will commence in 2015 and reach more than 850,000 children.

To use another overblown metaphor, clubs are also the essential fabric out of which the rich, variegated tapestry of the game’s history has been woven.

  • Football Federation Australia
    Football (Soccer): Football Federation Australia “I’d argue with kids at school and they all were convinced that rugby league was the most popular world sport. That shows how isolated Australia was. Soccer had to be introduced by migrants. We’ve come a long way.”1 Brazilian Ambassador once wondered whether Australians had a linguistic or an anatomical problem, since they seemed to reserve the term ‘football’ for games in Awhich the players predominantly use their hands.2 Such is the seeming contradiction in Australia where the term for the game played with the feet is called soccer and football (which is rugby league, rugby union or Aussie rules depending on where you live) is played mostly with the hands. Football is no longer the poor cousin of the ‘big four’ national sports in Australia – cricket, rugby league, Australian rules football and rugby union. Following the 2006 FIFA World Cup, the game has finally come of age in Australia and is starting to seriously challenge the other sports for spectator, sponsor and media support. Tracing football’s roots Playing a ball game using the feet has been happening for thousands of years. Early history reveals at least half a dozen different games, varying to different degrees, which are related to the modern game of football. The earliest form of the game for which there is reliable evidence dates back to the 2nd and 3rd centuries B.C. in China. Another form of the game, also originating in the Far East, was the Japanese Kemari, which dates from about 500 to 600 years later and is still played today.3 However, it is almost certain that the development of the modern game took place in England and Scotland.

This publication is an open access article. businessperspectives.org Problems and Perspectives in Management, Volume 10, Issue 1, 2012 Kieran James (Australia), Rex Walsh (Australia), Razvan Mustata (Romania), Carmen Bonaci (Romania) The appropriation of migrant labor in Australian football Abstract This paper examines the cancellation of Australia’s National Soccer League (NSL) at the end of the 2003-2004 season and its replacement with the hyper-capitalist A-League competition. The A-League was initially established under the guise of a “one-team-one-city” North American model and restricted itself to private-equity franchises that could raise start-up capital of AUD1 million. The shift to the A-League resulted in the ethnic community clubs, which had formed the backbone of the NSL, being relegated to the various states premier leagues. The authors use a Marxist analysis to explain how the transference of fans’ hopes and dreams on to the ethnic clubs and the transference by the part-time and volunteer labor forces of parts of themselves into the clubs have seen this accumulated capital (both financial and cul- tural) robbed and devalued by the A-League.

  • Budget Continues to Support the Sporting Capital
    ACT Government 2003-2004 BUDGET BUDGET CONTINUES TO SUPPORT THE SPORTING CAPITAL The 2003-04 ACT Budget continues to support Canberra as Australia’s sporting capital by upgrading sporting facilities and providing support for major sporting events and women’s elite sport, Sports Minister Ted Quinlan said. “We are providing $850,000 for upgrading the National Hockey Centre’s hockey field to international standard, with the new field to be of the wet synthetic type. This funding will also support improvements to drainage, lighting and fencing work at the Hockey Centre,” he said. “We have also allocated $1 million for the upgrade program of sportsgrounds, pools and recreation facilities. “Change rooms will be built at O’Connor Enclosed Oval and at Conder playing fields. The pavilions at Deakin West and Woden Park Athletics Field will be refurbished. “We are installing new training lights at Gordon playing fields and Isabella Plains oval and carrying out improvements to Dickson pool, such as landscaping, shade screens, seating and regrouting of the pool.” Mr Quinlan said the budget maintains the Government’s commitment to hosting major sporting events by providing additional funds for its agreement with the Australian Football League. “We are providing $250,000 a year for the next three years for staging four AFL matches at Manuka Oval each year. Under our agreement, the AFL will promote football at junior and school-age level in the ACT and will also make reasonable endeavours to provide live broadcasts of the ACT matches into other states,” he said. Funding for the Sport and Recreation Grant Program has been increased in line with CPI, bringing it to $2,518 425 next financial year.
