14 VAFA Clubs TAC Rewards Recipients

14 VAFA clubs will receive up to $10,000 in funding for their involvement with the 2021 TAC Club Rewards Program and helping to prevent death and serious injury on our roads.

Canterbury, Elsternwick, Glen Eira, Hampton Rovers, Marcellin, Mazenod, MHSOB, MUWFC, Old Brighton, Parkdale Vultures, Preston Bullants, St Bernard’s, West Brunswick and Westbourne Grammarians successfully promoted road safety throughout the season which included taking part in the TAC’s Band Together Campaign.

Clubs took part in the campaign by taking to social media to show they were wearing blue armbands for the round, despite the TAC’s Road Safety Round being postponed and eventually cancelled due to covid restrictions.

Brad Scott, Head of AFL Victoria, thanked TAC for its commitment to community football.

“TAC has been an incredible supporter of community football in Victoria over many years and the Club Rewards Program is yet another major show of support,” Scott said.

“Clubs, participants and volunteers will benefit tremendously, with the financial boost made all-the-more important given the challenges so many clubs and communities have faced in the past 18 months.”

Clubs will use the money on initiatives including safety improvements; launching a women’s team; updating equipment and facilities; upskilling members, coaches and providing medical training; and providing information sessions on topics such as mental health.
