The program is nationally recognised and aims to recognise quality football administration by volunteers, and promotes positive environments within community clubs across three stages, Bronze, Silver and Gold.
In Queensland, 23 clubs have already gained Bronze accreditation, with 64 clubs currently working towards being accredited.
While the Bronze accreditation focuses on the foundations of running a football club, the Silver level of the program aims to recognise excellence in club administration.
The AFL Queensland Silver level has been specifically designed to uphold the state’s community football priorities of supporting volunteers, in-club education and promotion and effective club management.
Many silver level requirements are already being undertaken by clubs and AFLQ has designed templates to help clubs gain Silver accreditation.
To be accredited at the Silver level will place clubs in a prestigious group as the most effectively managed clubs in the state.
Current Bronze Quality Clubs are encouraged to become the first Silver accredited club in Queensland by begin online assessments now.
