The Campaign
The purpose of the #beontheball campaign is to raise awareness of the dangers of distractions on Victorian roads —
whether you’re a pedestrian or a driver. The Transport Accident Commission (TAC) and Youth Girls Academy (YGA), as
well as Geelong Football player, Andrew Mackie, will be teaming up as ambassadors to spread this message with the aim
to get as many videos created as possible on social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram).
Similar to the ‘ALS Ice Bucket’ challenge, we want you to pass on the message to a friend, colleague, family member or
rival by challenging them to take part as well.
The winner will be chosen at random and will win a home entertainment system valued at $2000 ! There will also be 5 x
$200 Rebel Sports vouchers up for grabs as spot prizes throughout the competition.
We want your club to take part!
We’re asking for your support in getting your team to join in raising awareness, and in doing so, giving your players the
chance to win some of these awesome prizes.
