WAFL Count Me In Round: A fair go for everyoneSunday, April 17, 2016 - 10:00 AM

The WAFL will be kicking goals for access and inclusion when the State’s Count Me In vision is promoted at all WAFL games in Round 5 this weekend.

The Count Me In round, which has been developed in a partnership between the Disability Services Commission, the WA Football Commission and the Department of Sport and Recreation, will promote the State Government’s aspiration that we all live in welcoming communities that facilitate citizenship, friendship, mutual support and a fair go for everyone.

All football fans are encouraged to head to the footy on April 16 and 17 to enjoy a WAFL game and also celebrate Count Me In.

The Count Me In round will remind people that everyone can enjoy the benefits of being part of a sports club – that could be on the field as a player, on the sidelines supporting the team, behind the scenes fundraising or taking part in the social side of club life.

The round will include demonstration games at half time by integrated football teams, Count Me In promotional activities and appearances at League games by special guests.

People with disability with Companion Cards and their companions, or people with specially marked tickets, will gain free entry to any of the WAFL home games during this round.
