Welcome Hi everyone and welcome to the Inner Southern Region’s AFCA newsletter. What a fantastic year we have had. Footy at the grass roots level is really flourishing across the Inner Southern Region and your role as a coach has been one of the driving forces behind the growth and success. Over 200 coaches successfully completed their Level 1 accreditation courses in 2014 across all levels. We now have over 1300 accredited coaches in the region. Coaches whose Accreditations expire on the 31/12/2014 will be notified with re-accreditation forms and details in mid-November. The role of the coach is a very responsible and influential one. You are the 'significant other' in players' lives beside their close network of family, friends, teachers, etc. It is to this end that AFL Victoria and the Inner Southern Region takes coaching and its outcomes very seriously. We see you shaping, influencing and supporting the social, physical and emotional development of the participants in your care. Our responsibility at AFL Victoria is to create an environment where coaches, like you, are equipped and supported in your role. This newsletter provides a cross section of information that coaches can read, utilise and pass on to help improve the standard of coaching across the region.
