Participation Coordinators Join AFL North East Border

Participation Coordinators Join AFL North East Border

As football’s official resurgence from the depths of a COVID riddled 2020 is fast approaching, AFLNEB have rebounded with the appointment of two additional staff members.

Returning Corryong local Stacey Carkeek has been appointed by AFL Victoria to the role of Participation Coordinator with the sole purpose of executing and increasing participation opportunities for youngsters. Stacey’s background has seen stints with Netball Northern Territory and AFL Northern Territory that have both involved her to increase participation, membership, and entry level experiences in the respective sports.

Additionally, AFLNEB are pleased to announce the appointment of recently retired AFL Premiership player Ben Reid. After 152 AFL games with Collingwood, the former All-Australian Defender has returned to his home in Bright and will continue his involvement in the game by actively delivering clinics and promotional programs within the schools.

Both Stacey and Ben bring qualities and experience to their roles. We look forward to having them involved in 2021.

Lead Your Way 2025

By Zac Hedin • December 3, 2024

The Lead Your Way Program is back, giving women and gender-diverse people volunteering in community football leadership the opportunity to level up their skills and network. If you're a current committee-level volunteer at a community football club in our Metropolitan Leagues or Country Regions, this program is for you! Bronwyn McGorlick from the Wangaratta Rovers Female Football Club was a participant in 2024 and had this to say about the program - "It's been really great to connect with all the other leaders involved in footy. Sometimes you can be involved in your won club and not realise that there is this massive network of people out there, so I think that's been the best thing about it".
