Local clubs rewarded for their commitment to road safety

More than 150 Victorian football and netball clubs will share in more than half a million dollars for their efforts to promote road safety in their communities.

The Victorian Government and Transport Accident Commission are rewarding 151 grassroots clubs across the state for showing their commitment to eliminating death and serious injuries on our roads, throughout the 2022 season.

The TAC Club Rewards Program encourages AFL Victoria-affiliated clubs to educate their players and members on the dangers associated with risky driving behaviours such as speed, drink/drug driving, fatigue and distractions.

Hundreds of clubs took part in the July campaign, donning blue armbands to promote road safety and honour those tragically killed on our roads.

The TAC Club Rewards Program is part of a 31-year partnership with AFL Victoria and provides a platform to speak directly with Victorians travelling hundreds of kilometres on the state’s roads every year for training and games.

Congratulations to the following clubs from the AFL Barwon region.

• Armstrong Creek Junior Football and Netball Club 
• Bannockburn Football & Netball Club
