UTS Bats awarded Silver accreditation
The UTS Bats Australian Football Club has been awarded silver level accreditation as part of the AFL Quality Club Program.
The AFL Quality Club Program helps community football clubs improve their administrative operations and overall club environment. This ultimately benefits all club participants whether they are a player, spectator or volunteer.
The program achieves this by providing the opportunity for all clubs throughout NSW and the ACT to benchmark their club operations and administration via a ranking system.
The Silver accreditation is the second level of the program and reaching this demonstrates excellent levels of club administration.
AFL Community Football Manager Andrew Knott said that strengthening clubs at the grass-roots level is an important objective of the AFL.
“It is widely acknowledged that community football clubs and leagues are the foundation of Australian football, and that the future growth of the game will depend on the strength and viability of community football,” Knott said said.
“With this in mind, AFL NSW/ACT is striving to assist community football clubs to enhance their operations for the betterment of football.
“The UTS Bats have been working very hard with their off-field governance and administration processes.
“They have a very active and passionate committee who are working to provide the best possible environment to players and members alike.”
