Season 2021 Club Sponsor
Our club is committed to understanding and implementing the guidelines for concussion management in community football released by the AFL on 27/04/2021, and ensuring the best care for players.
We’ve partnered with our sponsor - Doctors of South Melbourne - to deliver an info session taking us through the guidelines and answering any questions we may have.
This info session will be delivered by Dr Greg Clugston & Dr Elaine Sung from Doctors of South Melbourne and moderated by our child safety officer, Amber Mills.
The info session is open to coaches, team managers, trainers and parents and will assist our community in achieving “best practice” in concussion management.
Held via zoom, this will be a recorded event. Registrations are essential and numbers are limited.
