As part of our ongoing Respect The Game campaign, we’re calling on all Victorian clubs to make a highly visible stand against anti-social, abusive behaviour, across Respect Round (April 13-19).
Respect Round is a chance for our clubs to clearly demonstrate how they are changing the culture in their community. You can show your support in the following ways:
- Download and read the Ground Marshal Handbook here. This document provides a scope of duties, ensures the code of conduct is upheld and that RESPECT
is in effect for all.
- Share your club’s initiatives! Demonstrate how your club Respects The Game across the weekend, sharing ideas you are running at your club online with #WeRespectTheGame. You could have your players sign a pledge to Respect The Game; highlight a story of your club’s work to create a respectful culture; include messaging into your ground announcer’s script.
Make sure you use the hashtag #WeRespectTheGame and tag Football Victoria in your posts. - Re-post our Respect Round video on your channels using the hashtag #WeRespectTheGame (see our social media channels)
- Download our social media imagery below to share on social media
We all need to work together to keep our game strong, providing a safe, enjoyable environment that protects participants, match officials, club administrators, volunteers and spectators.
