AFL Northern Territory: Remote projects
Australian Sports Commission is determined to have more Australians participating and excelling in sport, from grass-roots right up to the pinnacle of elite competition.
By harnessing the passion for AFL, remote-based football initiatives, delivered by AFL Northern Territory: Remote projects, save extensive and dangerous travel time to access structured and supported sporting environments. Remote based football programs allow people to play their sport of preference on country of significance, without the potential distractions of urban locations.
Football activities involve targeted messaging and specific programs based on advice from community elders, funding bodies and service providers. The remote projects are delivered in a culturally sensitive manner with consideration for local customs, traditions and cultural practices.
