Holistic Wellbeing Program

SUFNC Player Wellbeing & Mentor Program 

Building a strong culture of community through the integration of wellbeing and sport.  Our holistic philosophy in both physical and mindset perspective to help educate, support and empower individuals within SUFNC.  

Rationale for Player Wellbeing Program 

The Shepparton Football Netball Club is an organisation with a very long and proud history. A significant source of this pride is drawn out of a most successful on-field story that has led to many Premierships at both a Senior and Junior level and in both Football and Netball. 

Today, as a club we are still seeking that on-field success and ultimate glory of Premierships, but we now understand that we are living and operating within a different era where the pressures that are impacting on our young people are far greater and require sporting organisations to establish a culture that is supportive of young people and the various social, emotional and physical concerns that impact their lives. 

Through the SUFNC Wellbeing Program we hope to educate our players and coaches about the importance of our own personal wellbeing as well as the importance of supporting the wellbeing of others. Our goal as a club and a community is to again become a powerhouse of the GVFL but within an environment that is welcoming, supportive and responsive to the needs of our players and coaches.
