New 'Player Welfare and Development' role created at the Ferntree Gully Eagles Junior Football Club...
The Ferntree Gully Eagles Junior Football Club remains committed to providing more than just an environment for people to play and participate in football. Our Club realises that often players need additional support and/or assistance in other aspects of their lives; and this is also the case for Coaches and team officials in their ‘Duty of Care’ of their players. Examples of the types of additional support that our Club may offer to our players and/or Coaches include: · Provision of training to club officials and players/families (e.g: Trainers, Orientation to new players and parents, etc.) · Provision of tutorial assistance for students; · Facilitation of professional services (such as counselling, financial/taxation specialists, etc.) · Educational sessions on matters such as healthy eating and nutrition, drug awareness, sun protection, etc. (These sessions can be conducted with the assistance of our networks including schools, local funded welfare agencies, local medical staff, Police, etc.)
The 'Player Welfare and Development' role has been created to be a facilitator; a ‘conduit’ to professionals in the local area. The person in this role is not necessarily undertaking the specific work (e.g: they cannot counsel people, they cannot provide medical advice, etc.), however they are to be able to source and facilitate a body of work as identified in a ‘Club Workplan’. The ‘Workplan’ could include individual player issues or broader topics of discussion that are more generic in nature and capture a broader spectrum of players/families/officials. The occupant of this role will make themselves available to all Coaches in the first instance. They will also research and discuss potential issues and topics with members in order to develop a workplan.
