BENDIGO BANK JUNIOR FINALS SERIES INFORMATION

Share this article

The 2019 Bendigo Bank Junior Finals Series commences this weekend in the Eastern Football League.  

Players, spectators and officials are advised to familiarise themselves with the below information. The League wishes all participating clubs the best of luck for their upcoming finals campaigns.

 

ADMISSION PRICES  

Price of admission to all junior finals games is $5.00 per adult. Children under 17 years are admitted free of charge.

Please communicate this to all interested parties to avoid arguments at entrance gates.

Admission price is for one venue only – if you attend another ground on the same day, you will need to pay another admission cost.

 

NO DOGS OR ALCOHOL 

 

Dogs are banned at all EFL games including finals and alcohol is not permitted to be brought into any finals venue. It would be appreciated if all clubs would stress these points to their supporters.

 

DRAWN MATCHES 

 

In the event of a drawn game in any of the finals (including grand finals) the following conditions will apply:

  • Goal umpires will confirm the scores.
  • Players will not change ends after full time, but will kick to the same end as they were in the fourth quarter.
  • Field umpires will re-commence the game for the duration of five (5) minutes. The siren will sound, the teams will change ends and a further five (5) minutes is played.
  • If the game is still drawn after the second five (5) minute period, play is to continue and the siren will sound after the first score.
  • At no stage during extra time will coaches be permitted to address players

 

 

EFL CODE OF CONDUCT

 

The EFL’s Code of Conduct is designed to help improve the environment for players and supporters.

It’s important that everyone involved on match days is familiar with what is considered to be ‘reasonable behaviour’.

 

EXPECTATIONS OF PARENTS/GUARDIANS AND SPECTATORS

 

  • Remember that children play football for fun – they are not playing for your entertainment, nor are they miniature professionals.
  • Encourage players to participate, do not force them.
  • Focus on the players’ efforts – never ridicule or yell at a player for making a mistake or losing the game.
  • Remember that players learn best from example.
  • Applaud good play by both teams.
  • Encourage players to always participate according to the rules and respect official’s decisions.
  • Recognise the value and importance of volunteer coaches and officials.
  • An umpire’s job is a difficult one – put yourself in their position – how would you like to be treated?
  • If you disagree with an official, raise the issue through the appropriate channels rather than questioning the official’s judgement and honesty in public.
  • Demonstrate appropriate social behaviour by not harassing or using foul language to umpires, players, coaches, or other spectators.
  • Condemn the use of violence in any form, be it by spectators, coaches, officials or players.
  • Respect the rights and dignity of every player regardless of their gender, ability, cultural background or religion.
  • Discuss the Codes of Conduct with your son/daughter so that you are both aware of your obligations.
  • Actively promote the Codes of Conduct at all times.

 

EXPECTATIONS OF PLAYERS

 

  • Always play by the rules.
  • Control your temper – treat others as you would like to be treated – bullying will not be tolerated.
  • Verbal abuse to umpires, officials or other players is not acceptable.
  • Never argue with an umpire or official. If you disagree, discuss the matter with your coach.
  • Co-operate, support and encourage your teammates – your team’s performance will benefit, so will you.
  • Respect the rights and dignity of all players regardless of their gender, ability, cultural background or religion.
  • Play for the “fun of it” – it’s just a game!
