THE Alcohol and Drug Foundation’s Good Sports team is offering a $1000 prize for a community sports club in Victoria that is passionate about creating the best sporting experience for their members and guests.
Local clubs can go into the draw by signing up to the Alcohol and Drug Foundation’s free Good Sports program before Thursday, March 25.
Winners are expected to be announced in April, with $1000 to be awarded to a community sports club in each state and territory.
In Victoria, Good Sports is funded by the Australian Government and Transport Accident Commission.
Managed by the Alcohol and Drug Foundation, Good Sports is Australia’s longest-running health initiative in community sport.
Good Sports provides clubs with free tools, resources and practical support to implement initiatives around alcohol management, tobacco and safe transport.
“The Good Sports program encourages systemic changes in club culture to promote long-term positive health outcomes,” Alcohol and Drug Foundation chief executive officer Dr Erin Lalor said.
“All local clubs across Victoria have the opportunity to be leaders in their communities by joining Good Sports.
“The free program is available for a variety of clubs, from those with liquor licences, to clubs where alcohol is only consumed occasionally, to those that are completely alcohol and smoke-free."
