Quality Club Program

Dear Club Coordinators, Regional Development Managers, Leagues and Administrators,

Across all regions in Queensland, staff and clubs are calling out for greater help to improve/assist our clubs. I believe the Quality Club Program is the best approach for club development statewide, provide assistance/resources to improve clubs as well as recognition to those running quality clubs.

You may be aware of recent media coverage regarding the prevalence and management of concussion in contact sport at all levels. Much of this attention has been triggered by developments in the United States involving former NFL players and speculation about the longer term health effects of impacts to the head over a sporting career.

AFL Townsville has secured the rights to man the bottom bar at North Queensland Field Days 2012 held MAY 16-17th. This is an opportunity for the league to work together and reap some rewards.
