Strategic Planning and Club Development Program - RCoW and AFLNEB

AFL North East Border, in conjunction with the Ovens and King Football Netball League and Wangaratta and District Junior Football League, has been successful in obtaining funding to deliver a Strategic Planning and Club Development Program under the Rural City of Wangaratta’s Business and Community Recovery Grants Program.

The North East region’s football and netball clubs and associated communities have been greatly impacted by the January 2020 bushfires and the COVID-19 pandemic which, due to the restrictions, resulted in the loss of the 2020 football netball season in all AFLNEB affiliated leagues.

Clubs across the region have identified the need to focus on rebuilding clubs and reconnecting with communities with a return to football and netball competition in 2021.

It is also identified that clubs need to adapt to the continuing COVID-19 restrictions.

The Strategic Planning and Club Development Program will provide one-on-one support for up to 10 clubs across of the Wangaratta region, including senior and junior clubs to help prepare new club strategic plans.

AFLNEB League Manager Cam Potter said the successful application for the grant will benefit 10 clubs across the Rural City as clubs attempt to find their way back from a devastating 2020 season.

“The impact of the bushfires and COVID-19 to football governance and operations has been significant at all levels in 2020,” Potter said.

“With no football or netball in 2020 a key focus of all leagues and clubs is to support community participation and connection with the expected return of football and netball competition in 2021.

“The Strategic Planning and Club Development Program will support clubs in reviewing their current positions and establish new and updated strategies addressing the impacts from 2020.

“It will also help clubs establish operational approaches as COVID safe organisations supporting the safety of their participants and the local community.”

Expression of interests are now being requested from football-netball clubs across the City of Wangaratta municipality which are open until December 11th, 2020 with expressions of interested to be forwarded to cam.potter@afl.com.au.

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".
