FILMING
The NFNL will only permit Sportscast Australia to film all NFNL junior grand finals.
The NFNL will place signage at all entrance points at each finals venue, advising patrons that filming of grand finals will not be permitted.
Any patrons caught filming will be asked to stop or risk being ejected from the finals venue.
All grand finals will be available to purchase as a digital download for $16.50. The downloads can be purchased from www.nfnl.sportscastcloud.com one week after the matches are played.
Money from the sales of all junior grand finals goes to the two competing clubs.
NO DOGS OR ALCOHOL
No dogs (including dogs on a leash) or alcohol are permitted to be brought into any NFNL finals venue. It would be appreciated if all clubs would stress these points with both players and supporters and remind them that alcohol will be confiscated.
NO ALCOHOL WILL BE SOLD AT ANY VENUE AS PER NFNL JUNIOR POLICY.
CODE OF CONDUCT
Spectators are reminded that the following Code of Conduct applies to all patrons.
• Remember that you are there for the participants to enjoy the game.
• Encourage participation, but don’t force it.
• Teach that enjoyment is more important than winning.
• Never ridicule mistakes or losses – supporters are there to support not downgrade.
• Lead by example and respect all players, coaches, umpires and supporters – physical or verbal abuse will not be tolerated.
• Recognise and respect all volunteers who are giving up their valuable time.
• Never publicly criticise umpires – raise personal concerns with club officials in private.
• Do not use offensive comments based on race, religion, gender or ability – you’ll let down your family and your club if you do.
• Remember, vilification not only breaches NFNL Rules, it is against the law. Parents/supporters found guilty may face disciplinary action by their club, the NFNL and possible police action.
