The VAFA is delighted to announce a partnership extension with Australia’s largest health and fitness network Anytime Fitness, who will continue to present the Anytime Fitness Rising Star Men’s and Women’s awards throughout season 2025.
“Anytime Fitness and the VAFA have been partners for more than a decade, with both organisations jointly focused on supporting the health and wellbeing of young men and women,” said VAFA Chief Executive Officer, Jason Reddick.
“Anytime Fitness has become synonymous with our VAFA Rising Star Award, which continues to grow in stature each year. Last season’s men’s winner, Old Brighton’s Joey Campigli, now finds himself on a VFL list with Sandringham and we couldn’t be happier for him.
“Our women’s winner, Charlie Anderson from Caulfield Grammarians, had to overcome a significant back injury that wiped out most of her 2023 season, then returned to the field last season and, as Caulfield’s first-ever father-daughter combination, was a wonderful VAFA story that was widely celebrated.
“The industry-wide recognition that comes with winning the Anytime Fitness Rising Star Award helps our brightest young VAFA prospects chase their footballing dreams, and we sincerely thank Simon Olive and the team at Anytime Fitness for their continued support.”
Anytime Fitness National Marketing Manager, Billie Hutchison said, “We’re excited to extend the partnership between the VAFA and Anytime Fitness in Victoria. We share a strong commitment to community and a healthy, active lifestyle and we are thrilled to continue our support of the league in 2025.”
