3 1. Introduction In 2011, half of year olds had drank alcohol in the previous year and 17 per cent had drank alcohol in the past week. Almost one in three of these young people got the alcohol from their parents. Others got it from friends or someone else bought it for them 1. While the Good Sports program is designed to support alcohol management for adults participating in community sporting clubs, analysis of participating clubs indicates that at least 60 per cent of these clubs have junior teams. This provides an opportunity to enhance the program through supporting and influencing the drinking behaviour of young people. Even clubs that do not have junior teams can have an impact on young people through their interactions with younger family members. Young people s attitudes and behaviours are learned and influenced by what they see and hear. Your club can help influence young people s attitudes to alcohol, even before they try it, by: Encouraging role models such as members, supporters and visitors to demonstrate sensible drinking behaviour Making sure alcohol is not the focus of any events or celebrations Supporting people who choose not to drink Find out more about how adults and parents can influence young people s attitudes and behaviours towards alcohol at: The Other Talk ( LOOKING AFTER THE HEALTH OF JUNIOR CLUB MEMBERS The Australian alcohol guidelines 2 recommend that the safest option for people under 18 is not to drink. This is because: Young people are likely to drink more and take risks The brain is still developing during the teenage years and drinking alcohol during this time may damage the brain and lead to health complications later in life The earlier a child is introduced to alcohol the more likely they are to develop problems with it later in life Read more in this fact sheet, Young people and alcohol ( 1 White V & Bariola E 2012 Australian secondary school students use of tobacco, alcohol, and over-the-counter and illicit substances in 2011 Melbourne: The Cancer Council Victoria ( 3

4 Criteria to achieve the alcohol management accreditation As part of the alcohol management theme of Good Sports Junior, your club must satisfy all of the following criteria: Club complies with legislative requirements Alcohol is not available or consumed during junior competition Alcohol is not available or consumed at junior events Alcohol is never present in the change rooms Alcohol brands are not promoted on junior apparel (on and off field) or as prizes Creation and promotion of a Good Sports Junior alcohol management policy 2. Starting the conversation about alcohol at your club OVERVIEW It is important that club members and families feel like they are part of the journey and empowered to make decisions that improve their health and wellbeing. Ensure that the club shares its Statement of Intent with members via all communication channels so that they are well informed of the club s commitments to change. Consulting members and including them in the process is a key component to making effective, meaningful and sustainable changes. Avoid situations that isolate club members from decisions that affect them. For example, if the club currently allows alcohol at junior competition or events, rather than implementing a policy that prohibits this, consider a staged approach that: - Provides members with access to information such as the rationale about why the club is addressing the issue - Has transparency around the planned process of change - Members are consulted and asked for feedback, queries and concerns this may include administering a survey or quick questionnaire STRATEGIES Identifying the best way to communicate the changes to juniors, parents, and officials You will need to tell juniors, parents, officials and other club patrons about changes to alcohol management practices and policies. To be effective, this may include communicating in different ways, such as: Coaches telling the junior players at training and before and after games. A coach or committee member meeting with parents and players at the start of the season. Notices in the club s newsletter Letters or an to junior club members and their parents. Messages from the coach or club officials may include details of the changes, when the changes will start and why the changes were made. 4

5 IMPLEMENTING CHANGES TO CLUB ALCOHOL MANAGEMENT A key step to making any major change in your club is to ensure the committee supports the change and is committed to making the change work. Here are steps to guide you: Include the criteria in your club's Action Plan. Place the issue on the committee meeting agenda. Present the Action Plan to the committee so the motion can be formally passed. Convert the Action Plan into a Statement of Intent and tell club members and patrons about it. To be effective, use different ways to tell people about the changes. For example: Hang copies of the Statement of Intent in high-traffic areas such as club noticeboards, back of toilet doors, canteen area, etc. Include a copy of the Statement of Intent in your club's newsletter. Link to the Statement of Intent from your club's social media pages (e.g. Facebook, Twitter). a copy of the Statement of Intent to all members. Get coaches, team managers, and others to talk about the Statement of Intent and expected behaviours at the start of training and games. 3. Alcohol criteria for Good Sports Junior CRITERIA A: CLUB COMPLIES WITH LEGISLATIVE REQUIREMENTS Definition: Clubs and sporting facilities have a legal responsibility and an associated duty of care to their members to operate within the law. Why is this important: This criteria is to ensure that your club and facilities meet this responsibility, are compliant with relevant liquor licensing, and do not serve alcohol to people under the age of 18 years or allow people under 18 years to drink alcohol in the club facilities or at club events and presentations. Relevance to Good Sports Junior program Your club should consider how to manage the issue of the likely age mix of players in the club's U18 (or similar) team, or juniors that participate in senior teams. 5

6 CRITERIA B: ALCOHOL NOT AVAILABLE/CONSUMED DURING JUNIOR COMPETITION Definition of junior competition Junior competition refers to any game, or competitive environment, which is regarded as under 18 competition. Competitive environment can include scheduled games that are part of the regular season, finals matches, pre-season games, tournaments and junior trainings. Why is this important? Not having alcohol available or being consumed during the junior competition will: Make alcohol less visible and start to break the link between alcohol and sport. Provide positive role models that show young people how to enjoy sport without alcohol. Suggested steps to meet this criteria Some suggested steps include: 1. Including the criteria in your club's Action Plan that the committee agree upon and endorse. 2. Including this change in the club s Statement of Intent that is communicated to members. 3. Not having alcohol available for sale or consumed (including BYO) during the junior competition, including at additional and special competitions as defined above. 4. Developing a plan for how your club will respond to people who do not comply refer to the Good Sports Junior How to manage non-compliance information sheet. 5. Displaying posters (where appropriate) that explain that the facilities are alcohol-free during the junior competition, and sharing digital images of the signage on member communication platforms. If erecting signs and the facility is leased, you may need to seek permission from the landlord to erect signs. 6. Including a reference to alcohol not being served or consumed during junior competition, including at additional and special competitions, in your Good Sports Junior alcohol management policy. BYO alcohol consumption during junior competitions The steps for not allowing BYO alcohol to be available or consumed during junior competition are similar to those for not having alcohol for sale. You should: Ensure that any change to BYO alcohol consumption is compliant with liquor licensing regulations, lease agreements, and your existing Alcohol management policy (if you have one). Ensure members are aware of liquor licensing regulations as well as club policies, and be clear on the boundaries of what this entails (i.e. consumption anywhere on the sports grounds neighbouring ovals, car park, etc.). Set a timeframe for when the change will be implemented. Identify the best way to communicate the changes to members and patrons. Develop messages to tell people about the changes, when the changes will start and why the changes were made. 6

7 A Sample Message Here at [Club Name], we want to make the club a safe and healthy place for families to play and enjoy sport/cricket/tennis/hockey/football. That s why we joined the Good Sports program in [year] and are now participating in the Good Sports Junior project, funded by NIB Foundation. Being part of Good Sports shows we want to manage alcohol responsibly. We have joined Good Sports Junior because we know our actions are important in being good role models for the club s young people and in reducing their exposure to alcohol. So as of [insert date change commences]: - Alcohol will not be available for sale during junior competition. - BYO alcohol will not be permitted to be consumed during junior competition. Please help us to show the community that we re a family-friendly club by supporting these initiatives. If you have any major issues or questions, please do not hesitate to contact the club [insert club contact information]. CRITERIA C: ALCOHOL IS NOT AVAILABLE OR CONSUMED AT JUNIOR EVENTS Definition of events and presentations Your club may hold a range of events related to the junior competition, including parent nights and fundraisers where juniors may or may not attend, as well as more formal club events such as registration evenings and end of season awards. For the purpose of this criteria, junior presentation also includes those where the junior and senior presentations are combined. Why is this important? This will support your commitment to providing a safe and healthy place for families that provides positive role models who show young people how you can celebrate without alcohol. Suggested steps to meet this criteria: Hold events and presentations at times and locations that minimise access to alcohol Holding junior events at venues that do not have a liquor license or bar facilities will send a clear message to those attending that the event is alcohol-free. The alcohol-free message can also be reinforced by holding the event in the morning or outside of the venue's liquor license hours. If your club is holding junior and senior presentations in a single event you could either make the event alcohol free, or clearly separate out the junior presentation by holding the junior presentation first as an alcohol-free event. Then you could have a short break maybe serve food or have a short performance or demonstration and then the bar could open and the senior presentation could start. 7

8 Make sure that at the start of each season designated event organisers are aware of the club's statement of Intent or alcohol-free policy Event/presentation organisers need to be aware of the club's Statement of Intent or the club s Good Sports Junior alcohol management policy so they can take these requirements into consideration when looking for suitable venues and times to hold the event. Including the Policy when briefing the venue increases the chances that the venue may be able to support the club by designating areas away from juniors for alcohol service, prior to the event. Communicate with members Make sure that everyone attending the event or presentation understands that it is alcohol-free (or which part of the presentation will be alcohol-free if it s a combined junior-senior presentation). This can be done by including lines such as an alcohol-free event (or the times when alcohol will be served) on all advertising and promotional material. The steps for meeting this criteria may include: 1. Including the criteria in your Action Plan that your club committee can endorse. 2. Holding events and presentations at times and locations that minimise access to alcohol. 3. Promote the event/presentation as an alcohol-free event. 4. Including a reference to this criteria in your Good Sports Junior alcohol management policy. A Sample Message Here at [Club Name], we want to make the club a safe and healthy place for families to play and enjoy sport/cricket/tennis/hockey/football. That s why we joined the Good Sports program in [year] and are now participating in a trial of the Good Sports Junior program. Being part of Good Sports shows we want to manage alcohol responsibly. We have joined Good Sports Junior because we know our actions are important in being good role models for the club s young people and in reducing their exposure to alcohol. So as of [insert date change commences] / So, at the upcoming [insert function information] alcohol will no longer be served at junior presentations or events / alcohol will only be served during the senior presentation / alcohol will only be available in a designated area way from juniors. Please help us show the community that we re a family-friendly club by supporting these initiatives. CRITERIA D: ALCOHOL IS NEVER PRESENT IN THE CHANGE ROOMS Definition of change rooms Change rooms include the club s home venue as well as away venue change room facilities. For the purpose of the Good Sports Junior project, this definition also extends to team transport vehicles (i.e. buses and coaches) as well as non-traditional change rooms such as shelters. Why is this important? Not allowing alcohol in the change rooms at any time will: Ensure that your club is not violating you liquor license or lease agreement (for some clubs, the change rooms may be outside the area they are allowed to have alcohol). Make alcohol less visible and start to break the link between alcohol and sport. Provide positive role models that show how young people can celebrate without alcohol. 8

9 Suggested steps to meet this criteria: Use club leaders to communicate message Club leaders, such as coaches and captains, are powerful vehicles in communicating club expectations and protocols around alcohol consumption. In addition to change room signage, perhaps get the coach or captain/s to discuss the changes with the playing group after training so that everyone is aware of the club s policy. It is also a good idea to provide the rationale about why this is happening, and the importance of being role models for younger members of the club. Liquor licensing and red zones Clubs should be aware of the terms of their liquor licence, and areas of the sporting facility where alcohol can be consumed. Change room facilities usually fall outside of these, and even if they don t, clubs are encouraged to mark red zones on a map of the facility which extends to the change rooms and make this image readily available or displayed for all players to see. The steps for meeting this criteria include: 1. Including the criteria in you Action Plan that the committee agree upon and endorse. 2. Identifying the best way to communicate the changes to members and patrons. 3. Displaying signs in and around the change rooms that explains the change rooms are alcoholfree (marking of red zones / alcohol free zones). 4. Identifying the people who will be responsible for monitoring compliance and develop a plan for how you will respond to people who do not comply. 5. Include a reference to alcohol never being allowed in the change rooms in your Good Sports Junior alcohol management policy (see sample below). Sample policy insert: We aim to minimise the link between alcohol and sport for young people in our club. Alcohol is not to be consumed in our club change rooms and we will meet our liquor licensing obligations and the principles of our involvement in the Good Sports program. A Sample Message Here at [Club Name], we want to make the club a safe and healthy place for families to play and enjoy sport/cricket/tennis/hockey/football. That s why we joined the Good Sports program in [year] and are now participating in the Good Sports Junior project, funded by NIB Foundation. Being part of Good Sports shows we want to manage alcohol responsibly. We have joined Good Sports Junior because we know our actions are important in being good role models for the club s young people and in reducing their exposure to alcohol. So as of [insert date change commences] alcohol will no longer be permitted in the change rooms. Please help us show the community that we re a family-friendly club by supporting these initiatives. 9

10 CRITERIA E: ALCOHOL IS NOT PROMOTED OR ADVERTISED BY THE JUNIOR CLUB ON ANY APPAREL (ON AND OFF FIELD) OR USED AS REWARDS OR FUNDRAISERS BY THE JUNIOR CLUB Definition of alcohol, advertising, and promotion: For the purpose of this criteria, alcohol refers to any product, image or brand that has alcohol as its core offering. For example, an alcoholic beverage brand (Tooheys, VB, Jim Beam), an alcohol manufacturer (i.e. winery, brewery), or a supplier whose primary business is alcohol sales (i.e. Dan Murphys, BWS). The following examples are not banned from advertising or promotion with juniors: Advertising of licensed premises, such as a hotel or restaurant (as long as it does not promote an alcohol brand or include an alcohol-related logo or image). Advertising and branding at the point of sale (i.e. at the bar itself). Alcohol should not be used for any fundraising or rewards by the junior club, and this is in line with a club s responsibility as a Good Sport Level 3 accredited club. Where the club shares facilities with the senior teams, and the senior team are sponsored by an alcohol product (as defined above), any display of signage or logos at the ground or club facility will be deemed as the responsibility of the senior team and not the juniors, however the display of such logos or branding on junior apparel (on or off field) is not permitted. The senior club are also recommended to refer to this document for information about the impacts of exposing juniors to alcohol messaging and the importance of trying to break this link. Why is this important? Restricting alcohol promotion and advertising will make alcohol less visible and help to break the link between alcohol and sport. Suggested steps to meet this criteria Reviewing the current alcohol sponsorship and promotion arrangements The first step is for you to review all your alcohol sponsorship and promotion arrangements so you fully understand your obligations. Review the current alcohol-related signs, sports equipment, branding and promotional activities at your club facilities and on club communications The next step is for you to review and document all alcohol-related signs around the club facilities, sporting equipment, branding and promotion on all communications (e.g. newsletters, social media, websites) and promotional activities so that you can then identify which ones are: Required as part of their sponsorship and promotion obligations. Currently displayed during, or linked to, junior competition, events or presentations. Alcohol-related logos and images or promote alcohol retailers. You can then use this information to develop a plan for which advertising and promotional activities can be stopped immediately because they aren t part of any agreement and which need to be renegotiated with sponsors. 10

11 The steps for meeting this criteria include: 1. Including the criteria in your Action Plan that the club committee can agree upon and endorse. 2. Reviewing the current alcohol sponsorship and promotion arrangements. 3. Reviewing the current alcohol-related sponsorships and how these are communicated or exposed to junior members (signs, sports equipment, branding and promotional activities at the club facilities and on club communications). 4. Renegotiating of alcohol promotion and advertising requirements with suppliers or sponsors if required. 5. Removing and/or stopping alcohol promotion and advertising from the facilities and newsletters, social media and other club communications if feasible. 6. Including reference to restriction of alcohol promotion and advertising on junior apparel or as part of junior fundraising or prizes in your Good Sports Junior alcohol management policy. Renegotiating of alcohol promotion and advertising requirements with suppliers or sponsors Once you have identified what promotion and advertising requirements need to be changed you can start negotiating with suppliers and sponsors to change the agreement. As part of this process you should explain to the sponsors and suppliers why you are making the changes and how these changes fit into the club s longer term plans. This may help the sponsors and suppliers understand the request to change the agreement and help with the negotiation process. Removing and/or stopping alcohol promotion and advertising from your club facilities and newsletters, social media and other club communications Any advertising and promotional activities that are not required as part of a sponsorship agreement can be stopped straight away. Other activities that are part of a sponsorship agreement can be stopped, or altered, once a new agreement has been reached. If you are planning on removing or changing signs and the facility is leased, you may need to seek permission from the landlord. Include reference to restriction of alcohol promotion and advertising in your Good Sports Junior alcohol management policy Reference to this should be clearly stated in your club s Good Sports Junior alcohol management policy and, at a minimum, should include: There will be no promotion or advertising of alcohol brands or products on junior player apparel (on and off field) There will be no use of alcohol in junior fundraising or as prizes 11

12 CRITERIA F: CREATION AND PROMOTION OF A GOOD SPORTS JUNIOR ALCOHOL POLICY Overview The final criteria in the alcohol management theme is the implementation and promotion of your Good Sports Junior alcohol management policy. The policy will reinforce your club's commitment to managing alcohol by formally stating: Why you are implementing an alcohol management policy for juniors. What the policy means and expected behaviour by club members and patrons. What will happen if club members or patrons do not comply with the policy. Suggested steps to creating a Good Sports Junior alcohol management policy The following steps will help you to develop a policy suitable for your needs and promote it to members and patrons: 1. The development of a Good Sports Junior alcohol management policy is placed on the committee meeting agenda. 2. Club-specific policy issues are identified for discussion by the committee. 3. Develop the Policy. 4. The Policy is accepted and endorsed by the committee. 5. Identify the different ways you can tell members and patrons about the Policy and promote the Policy. 6. Provide additional information and support for coaches, team managers, and other key people who will be responsible for enforcing the policy. 7. Review the Policy each year. The development of a Good Sports Junior alcohol management policy is placed on the committee meeting agenda Your existing Good Sports alcohol management policy should be updated to include this. To ensure that enough time is dedicated in committee meetings to adapt your club s existing policy, place it as a meeting agenda item and use the Good Sports Junior alcohol management policy template as a guide. Club-specific policy issues are identified for discussion by the committee To be an effective policy it will need to be adapted to meet your clubs individual requirements and issues. Many of these issues will have been identified when implementing the previous criteria; the committee may identify others. They may include things such as: Why you have an alcohol management policy. This may be because of: Legislation and responsible service of alcohol requirements. Health reasons, the influence of role models and the wish to create a safe and healthy place for families. How alcohol is managed by the club. For example: Alcohol is not available for sale or allowed to be consumed during junior competition Alcohol is not served during junior events or presentations Alcohol is never present in the change rooms Alcohol is not promoted by the junior club on junior apparel (on and off field), or used by the junior club as fundraisers or prizes 12

13 What will happen if club members or patrons do not comply with the Policy. More details on how to respond to someone not complying with the changes can be found in How to manage non-compliance section of this document. Most of the content for the Policy will have been developed during the process of completing the other criteria as the last step of each criteria required the club to draft a statement for the Policy. This last criteria should just involve finalising and formalising the activities started in each of the previous criteria. Develop the Policy Once the committee has identified club-specific issues they want their policy to address you can adapt the Good Sports Junior alcohol management policy template to suit your needs. The Policy is accepted and endorsed by the committee After the Policy is finalised it can be added as an agenda item to a committee meeting where the committee can accept and endorse the policy. Identify the different ways you can tell members and patrons about the Policy and promote the Policy Any policy will only be effective if people know about it and support it, so telling club members and patrons about the policy and why you have it is an important step. To be effective, use different ways to tell people about the Policy. For example: Signs on noticeboards and the back of toilet doors. Your clubs newsletter. Your clubs social media pages (e.g. Facebook, Twitter). An to all members An SMS to all members Getting coaches, team managers, and others to talk about the policy and expected behaviours at the start of training and games. Once you have identified some different ways you are going to tell people about the Policy you will need to develop a message to let members know. A Sample Message Here at [Club Name], we want to make the club a safe and healthy place for families to play and enjoy sport/cricket/tennis/hockey/football. That s why we joined the Good Sports program in [year] and are now participating in a trial of the Good Sports Junior program. Being part of Good Sports shows we want to manage alcohol responsibly. We have joined Good Sports Junior because we know our actions are important in being good role models for the club s young people and in reducing their exposure to alcohol. So as of [insert date change commences] we have a new alcohol management policy that states: - [list key policy items]. - [list key policy items, e.g. BYO alcohol will not be permitted to be consumed during junior competition]. This policy is available at [insert link to policy on website or which noticeboard it s pinned on]. Please help us show the community that we re a family-friendly club by supporting these initiatives. 13

14 Provide additional information and support for coaches, team managers, and other key people who will be responsible for enforcing the policy People who will be responsible for enforcing the policy, such as coaches and team managers, may need some additional information and support, especially how to manage people who breach the Policy. Your club may already have an existing policy in place for how to manage members and patrons who breach their Code of Conduct. In this case you should follow the same process. More details on how to respond to someone not complying with the changes can be found in How to manage non-compliance section of this document. Review the Policy each year To ensure the Policy continues to be relevant to your club it should be reviewed each year by the committee to make sure it is still compliant with legislation, responsible service of alcohol requirements, and the clubs goals. As part of the review the committee should re-commit to the Policy and remind club members and patrons about it. 4. HOW TO DEAL WITH NON-COMPLIANCE OVERVIEW As part of developing or changing any policy, clubs also need to develop a process for how they will respond in the event that club members and patrons do not comply with the policy. This process needs to be included in the policy and all members and patrons need to be aware of it. Why your club needs a process Your club needs a process for how you will respond in the event that club members and patrons do not comply with the policy so: Members and patrons understand their responsibilities and the implications of their actions. The people who are responsible for enforcing the policy: Understand their responsibilities Feel they have the club s support Can respond consistently to non-compliance. If your club already has an existing process in place for how to manage members and patrons who breach their code of conduct, your club can follow the same process for people who do not comply with the policy. Implementing changes and monitoring of compliance Identifying the people who will be responsible for monitoring compliance You will need to start by identifying who the most appropriate people are to manage this change and monitor compliance. This may include the coaches of the junior teams, committee members and bar staff. These people may need additional information and support so they can monitor and enforce the changes. 14

15 Developing a plan for managing the process and how your club will respond to people who do not comply You need to develop a plan for: Implementing the change, including the date that the change will apply. Telling people about it (see the next step). How you will monitor compliance. How you will respond to people who do not comply. You may already have an existing policy in place for how to manage members and patrons who breach their code of conduct. In this case you should follow the same process. The people identified in the previous step as being responsible for managing the change and monitoring compliance should be involved in developing the plan. This will help them understand their role and responsibilities. SUGGESTED STEPS TO MANAGE NON-COMPLIANCE If your club does not have an existing process in place, some suggested steps are outlined below that can be adapted to suit your club's needs. 1. Approach the person in a friendly, non-confrontational way By approaching the person in a friendly, non-confrontational way and introducing yourself you decrease the chances that people will get angry and begin to argue. 2. Politely explain the club's policy Most of the time, people may not comply because they do not know about the policy. Simply explaining the club's policy to them and why it has been put in place will be enough to change their behaviour. 3. Give them a copy of the club's Statement of Intent or Policy If the person would like more details provide them with a copy of the clubs Statement of intent or Policy. The people responsible for enforcing the Policy could have copies with them or they could take the person's details and agree to send them a copy. 4. Walk away if they become aggressive or confrontational Occasionally someone may refuse to comply or may become aggressive or confrontational when approached. Your safety, and the safety of the people around you, is the priority. If you feel it is safe to do so, take down their details, explain that the club will be in contact about the breach, and walk away. Do not lose your temper or try to physically restrain the person. 5. Report the incident to the club committee If someone refuses to comply, immediately report the incident to a club committee representative who can then decide on how to proceed. If their behaviour continues to be inappropriate and they continue to act aggressively the club committee representative may decide to call the police. 15
