Round 10 is Tackle Your Feelings Round in the VAFA

The upcoming round of the VAFA Home and Away season (June 18^th and 19^th) is the Tackle Your Feelings Round. The round will celebrate the Tackle Your Feelings (TYF) program and its partnership with the VAFA over the last 2 years.

Tackle Your Feelings is a FREE training program delivered by a local psychologist. It aims to help coaches, committee members, and club support staff build the skills to understand, recognise and respond to signs of mental health in their players.

In the last 2 seasons the VAFA and TYF have delivered more than 20 workshops to VAFA clubs and more than 400 stakeholders. The VAFA has a goal to deliver to 45 clubs by the end of 2023 and extend the support offered to clubs in having the mental health conversation with all of its stakeholders.

To celebrate the Tackle Your Feeling’s round the VAFA will be discussing the TYF program on its VAFA Podcast, For the Love of the Game, with Ormond’s Matt Suckling and both the RSN Carnival Match of the Day between Old Trinity and St Bernard’s and the VAFA Live-Stream Game of the Day on Sunday between Marcellin and Old Ivanhoe which will also award TYF Medals to the Best on Ground players. Tackle Your Feelings program Manager Adam Baldwin will also be a part of the pre-game interview and will pen the VAFA Editorial for the round.
