Our Club takes every precaution to ensure our Coaches and Team Managers are adequately trained to ensure the health and safety of all participants who play AFL, following the guidelines outlined by both the SMJFL and the AFL.

​

The AFL has produced “The Management of Sport-Related Concussion in Australian Football with Specific Provisions for Children and Adolescents”, based on guidelines developed by the AFL Concussion Working Group Scientific Committee.

​

These guidelines will continue to evolve as new evidence is made available to ensure best practice.
