STATE OF AFFAIRS | Play by the Rules…..
The funding agreement between State Government and AFL Tasmania includes key
performance indicators related to clubs and associations promoting a safe sporting
environment for members and spectators.
This includes increasing awareness among the
football community of the Play by the Rules
resource and incorporating Play by the Rules
education into coaching courses.
Play by the Rules is an interactive online resource
that provides information and tools for community
sport and recreation on how to prevent and deal
with discrimination, harassment and child abuse
and develop inclusive and welcoming environments
for participation.
Sport and recreation clubs and associations can
use Play by the Rules to:
• Ensure coaches, administrators, officials and
umpires understand their roles and responsibilities
• Better understand sport and the law
• Develop and review policies
• Access brochures to be used as a way of
communicating messages about sport being fun,
fair and safe
