The “Training for Life Cup” provides a unique opportunity for Acacia, AFL Victoria and Skills Victoria to promote Education and the value of training to a wide cross section of the community.

As major partner, Acacia’s involvement with AFL Victoria extends across both the VFL and TAC Cup competitions.

With a community development focus, Acacia has been assisting AFL Victoria create and develop off field opportunities by establishing an educational pathway that aligns with the on field component.

In areas such as Communication Skills, First Aid, Finance, Nutrition and Injury Management and prevention, both the Certificate II and Certificate III qualifications allow each player to develop in critical areas away from the football field enhancing career options into the future.

CEO of Acacia, David Griffin says the partnership with AFL Victoria has been positive. “The programs are making a real difference and we are pleased to partner with AFL Victoria and provide a level of education that assists players in developing further career opportunities”.
