Touch Football Australia (TFA) is proud to continue an initiative introduced in 2011 to support affiliate volunteers in the area of competition management.

The Affiliate Management Resource Initiative (AMRI) has been developed with the goal of creating suggested procedures, templates or guidelines for competition management.

TFA within the 2011-2015 Strategic Cycle has an objective to ‘Provide Best Practice Administration at all levels’. More specifically we aim to deliver results for Target 4.b. Core Strategies developed to professionalise the delivery of events/competitions for participants. A full outline of the Strategic Plan can be downloaded from the website - www.austouch.com.au.

The Affiliate Management Resource Initiative has progressed significantly through the research and development phase of 2012. The sheets are designed to save volunteer time and offer ideas, with the opportunity to create a better experience for the end participant of the sport. Within a competitive sports industry, as a sport, we need to look for an edge over our competitors recruiting and retaining members

The eighth module to be released is Module 10: Disciplinary Regulations. The module provides further information to support the latest Disciplinary Regulations. It briefly summarises the Disciplinary Regulations Manual and how unacceptable conduct is managed within Touch Football.

Examples of the information you may receive from this process, include the following;

1. How to deal with unacceptable behaviour.

2. How the system works and the Reporting Process.

3. Definitions and Tribunal guidelines.

4. Grading of offences and penalties

5. Templates for Tribunal witnesses, members, chairpersons and officials to use before, during and after a hearing.
