Hey Roos members and friends,
We’re just letting you know some fantastic news about our club. We recently joined the online Good Sports program and have just earned ourselves top level Gold Medal accreditation.
This means we have policies and action plans in place that cover:
• Alcohol practices
• Licensing requirements
• Promotion
• Tobacco management
• Illegal drugs
• Mental health
• Safe transport
• Supporting junior members
• Family friendly and appropriate activities
What that means is that we make sure our members have a healthy environment to play and train in. We believe in safe celebrations and we especially want to make
sure members of all ages get home again safely.
We are more than just a place to play soccer
Rainbow Roos is a welcoming environment that values people of all skill levels and the contributions they make. Our comprehensive policy and the actions we take every day mean we are well prepared to deal with any situations that might arise. We’re committed to support stronger, healthier members who are better supported to deal with life’s curly deliveries.
And we believe in role modelling positive, respectful behaviour across all ages – both on and off the field.
We particularly want to acknowledge the role played by all of the Roos committee in securing our new Gold Medal accreditation. We also want to thank our members and wider community for their ongoing support.
Our Gold Medal achievement doesn’t mean we will be sitting still. Rainbow Roos will be updating our Good Sports credentials every year, and we also welcome your suggestions and feedback.
Please contact Brad if you want to find out more about supporting our fantastic Gold Medal club. We’d love to hear from you.
