Good Sports Level 2
This level is all about taking the learnings from level 1 and using them in the management of alcohol-related activities in the club. Level 2 assists clubs by putting in place a range of practices on responsible alcohol management. Topics covered in this level includes having food available when alcohol is around, providing safe transport options to members and guests, and having a responsible revenue generation strategy in place.
When these learnings are put into place they help clubs develop a healthy culture, inclusive of young people and families, whilst providing a duty of care to members and guests.
Community
By completing level 2, you’ll be able to provide a space that is inclusive and welcoming, fostering healthy revenue generation that promotes safe behaviour.
You’ll also be offering food and low and non-alcoholic options for members and their guests, providing a great day out for everyone, as well as encouraging further support for your club.
Funding
With a responsible revenue generation strategy in place, you’ll actually see an increase in events being held at the club because of the family friendly environment created.
Clubs who join Good Sports see their revenue doubled with the average total income of level 3 clubs going up by nearly $130,000.
Safety
Around a quarter of deaths on Australia’s roads are caused by drink driving.
By having a safe transport policy in place, the club is taking a duty of care for members and the wider community by eliminating the potential of drink driving.
