A Young Person is someone involved in footy who is between the ages of 13 and 18 years old – usually a player but could also be an umpire or in another role at the club, or a sibling or child of a player.
We want all kids who participate in footy to be safe, feel safe, play safe. Here are some key messages that relate to footy.
