AFL Industry Day comes to town
Content:
The AFL Industry Day is coming to town Sunday 7th April 2013, 8.30am – 4pm at Harrup Park, Mackay.
It is a united education initiative delivering Volunteer, Coaching and Umpiring education courses to community football. The initiative is in response to overwhelming feedback that volunteers were significantly under represented in our education courses.
By uniting with pre-existing coaching and umpiring courses, AFL Queensland are providing premier education to the community. Presenters include AFL Queensland guest presenters and experts, as well as local professionals and experienced volunteers.
Education Break Down
Volunteer Education
A free of charge, one day intensive education event for all volunteers. Clubs are expected to ensure multiple volunteers per club attend (a minimum of 4, maximum of 12 per club).
Volunteers even get to choose the content that will be delivered, through a survey on their registration form. This is an effort to ensure education meets the needs of the clubs and league.
Education includes modern day trends and cutting edge initiatives, as well as well serving traditional methods across areas such as Sponsorship, Grants, Media, Infrastructure, Volunteer Management, Planning, Resources for clubs, Conflict Management, Club Culture, Player Recruitment.
