Good Sports

The Good Sports program enables sporting clubs to address the issue of binge drinking through an innovative framework of alcohol management. This benefits the players, club, families and the community.

We would recommend the Good Sports program to other clubs in the area as it helps to build up an image of responsibility amongst the community and particularly sponsors.

Since joining the Good Sports program we have made significant changes around the club including sports drinks after a game before any alcohol is consumed, unlimited free water available at the bar, removing hotel sponsors’ logos from player jerseys and developing a partnership with a taxi company to ensure safe transport for all members.

This accreditation verifies and confirms our family friendly values and that we are a safe and responsible club to be involved with.

It is no longer appropriate for heavy drinking and sport to go hand in hand. Bega Valley Shire Council supports Good Sports because we recognize the health and community benefits of fostering positive sporting environments.
