Coaching & Refereeing Opportunities in Partnership with AFL and FV

2019 has seen another successful cohort of young African Australians trained by AFL Victoria to become umpires. This program offers these young people a number of very important benefits. It teaches teamwork, discipline (including the importance in Australian society of punctuality) respect of self and others and responsibility. Just as critically it also provides our successful graduates with well-paid weekend employment while also keeping fit. The continued success of this program would not be possible without the efforts of AFL Victoria and the passion and commitment of our own Yasseen Musa.

This year has also seen Africause (AAMEYS) broaden our sporting support to now be working with Football Victoria (FV) to provide our young people with opportunities to train to become qualified referees and coaches of soccer. Thanks to Football Victoria and in particular Nick Hatzoglou for funding the first group of 16 African Australian soccer coaches, each of whom now coaches 20+ kids every week thereby giving a meaningful sporting activity to over 300 kids at least 3 times a week.

Acknowledgement

We acknowledge the Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the first inhabitants of this nation and the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live. We pay our respect to their Elders – past, present and emerging. We express our gratitude for the sharing of this land, our sorrow for the personal, spiritual and cultural costs of that sharing and hope that we may move forward together in harmony and in the spirit of healing.

We also acknowledge the countless women who have experienced family violence, in particular women from migrant and refugee backgrounds. We recognise the courageous path they have travelled to rebuild their lives and honour their stories which continue to inspire and drive our work.

Africause is an organisation that values and celebrates diversity, and that is respectful of a person’s culture, identity and beliefs.
