Engaging in the sport of footy should be an enjoyable experience. It should provide opportunities to make friends, learn and develop, and fully embrace the benefits of being part of a team. It is essential that you are treated with respect and that all aspects of your involvement, including training, games, and club activities, are filled with happiness.

If there is ever a situation where someone's actions are hindering your ability to fully enjoy your footy experience, remember that you have the right to speak up and report it to someone you trust. Your well-being and enjoyment are of utmost importance, and it's crucial to ensure that any issues are addressed.
