The Yarra Junior Football League (YJFL) will show its support for road safety this week, donning blue armbands to honor people killed on Victorian roads and show a commitment to reducing road trauma as part of the 2024 TAC Road Safety Round.
The statewide event will run from July 19 - 21 and will take place during Round 12 of YJFL action, with players, coaches, volunteers and supporters all encouraged to wear the blue armband to show their commitment to road safety.
This year’s Road Safety Round will spotlight speeding, which is a major contributor to trauma on Victorian roads. Players will take to the field and the courts wearing blue armbands to honour lives lost on the road and serve as a reminder that we all have a responsibility to play our role.
Community members around Victoria will also be running ‘late-laps’ at local grounds around the state and banking them for future. The initiative sends a message that there is no need to speed to get to training on time.
To play your role, collect an armband from your local football and netball club, and start running.
Show up for your team. Slow down on the road.
