Hi All,
Since 2011 the SANFL in conjunction with all its’ affiliated leagues and each of the school systems have agreed to and imposed Cross Competition Sanctions.
It is and has been a longstanding and accepted practice whereby schoolboy/girl footballers within the same season, play both for their school and for their community (or League) clubs. While the SANFL endorses this practice, it also believes footballers must accept responsibility for their actions, and if found guilty and suspended for a breach of the rules/codes of behaviour of the game in one competition, they should serve a similar suspension in the other competition(s) in which they play. This premise is supported by Rule 19.4 of the Laws of Australian Football.
Attached is the 2014 Cross Competition Sanctions Memorandum of Understanding. This is a three segment document consisting of:
- Preamble
- Operating Procedures
- Sanction Information Template
This preamble should be communicated throughout your competition(s) to increase knowledge and understanding.
Any questions please let me know.
Regards,
DAVE REYNOLDS
SANFL Metropolitan Programs Manager
