Last week the SANFL hosted an Induction night for the Multicultural Community Ambassadors Program. This is a program that aims to engage communities through a dedicated network of volunteers while using Aussie rules football as a vehicle for connection and inclusion.

Over the weekend, the Ambassadors were all invited to the Port Adelaide vs. Collingwood clash for an AFL match experience.

We are overly excited to see the involvement of our new ambassadors across SANFL football.

If you wish or know anyone who would be suitable and interested in this opportunity, please apply via this link https://applynow.net.au/jobs/SANFL227

SANFL are on the hunt for U14/15 (born 2005 & 2006) Indigenous and Multicultural young men to trial for the SANFL Diversity Talent ID program and would love to see you at one of the trials.

After the trials our leadership team will select Indigenous and Multicultural players to attend a High Performance Camp in Adelaide on 4th– 5th April, after the Adelaide Camp the AFL allocate SANFL a number of positions to nominate players who will transition into the Flying Boomerangs and World Team programs. The selected players will be flown to Melbourne for the National Program that will take place during 2020.

The SANFL Diversity Talent ID Program, Flying Boomerangs and World Team is an elite development pathway program designed to give the participants a unique opportunity to develop their football skills and be exposed to a leadership and cultural program and to encourage their personal development.

Below is a flyer with some more information and if you wish, click here: https://sanflprograms.wufoo.com/forms/p1qsb2fg0t4l5yu/to register to trial.
