4 PREFACE In 2014, Eagles Cup will continue to feature prominently in primary schools. Eagles Cup provides a fantastic opportunity for primary school students to participate in a well organised and enjoyable interschool football competition. Students are able to play our great game where the emphasis is placed on participation, skill development and fun. For many students it will be the catalyst that inspires them to join their local football club and develop a genuine appreciation of the game. It is anticipated that in excess of 12,000 students representing over 500 primary schools will participate in Eagles Cup in With ever increased demands placed upon the school curriculum, the lift in numbers is a tribute to the success of this program and highlights the interest in football at a grass roots level. The West Australian Football Commission, in conjunction with School Sport WA and the Department of Education and Training, is instrumental in ensuring AFL Junior Rules is promoted. This handbook outlines the necessary contacts schools require to become involved in this program which, I m sure, will leave a very positive impression upon students, teachers and the whole school community.

5 FOREWORD I like to think my football career began when I was seven years old, playing for the Deanmill Football Club in Manjimup. Later, when my family moved to Perth, I joined the Sorrento Duncraig Football Club, where I played until I was 16. I loved being part of a team and have many fond memories of my days as a fledgling player. I began pursuing my dream of playing footy at the highest level when I joined the Subiaco Football Club development squad and moved through the ranks until I played my first league game in At 20, my dream was realised when I was drafted by the West Coast Eagles. I was honoured to receive the Sandover Medal in 2006 which is given to the best player in the WAFL competition and have since concentrated on contributing as much as I can to the senior West Coast side. Since 2008, I have been a member of the West Coast Eagles leadership group. In 2012 my daughter was born, who may in the future participate in Eagles Cup and Eagles Faction Footy. I believe it is important to never lose focus on the countless benefits of participating in junior sport, including being active and healthy from a young age and being part of a team. Junior football is an ideal sport to reflect these values. The Eagles Cup and Eagles Faction Footy is the perfect way to introduce kids to footy in a fun competition, where playing for enjoyment is the focus. Here s to a footy-filled Matt Priddis West Coast Eagles INTRODUCTION EAGLES CUP is a specially designed primary interschool football competition for upper primary students. The special modified rules (AFL Junior Rules) allow for maximum participation, enjoyment and skill development. The emphasis should always be on playing for fun rather than on winning. It involves schools combining with other schools of similar size (enrolment) and in close proximity to each other to form a group or association* to conduct interschool matches. These groups then become divisions within each of the metropolitan WAFL districts. This fun and interactive competition is conducted in term 2 and term 3 of the school year. * This association may already exist where schools are regularly participating in interschool competition in the major winter and summer sports. In 2013 a total of 468 schools participated in the EAGLES CUP; 356 metropolitan and 112 regional schools. 03

At its own discretion each school may want to consider purchasing personal accident insurance to protect against claims for non Medicare medical expenses arising from this Australian Football program, or any other school program. *PLEASE NOTE - As of 2010 all Non-Government and Independent schools have relocated their year 7 students to Secondary School campuses. Will this affect the current Eagles Cup Competition? It is hoped that the current format will have little or no disruption at all, as the Eagles Cup is for year 6 and year 7 students. Those schools without year 7 students on campus will participate as normal. Secondary schools with year 7 students on campus have the option of forming their own All year 7 competition or joining a Primary School division that has year 7 students only participating. For further information on your schools classification for the Eagles Cup program, contact your WAFC football Development Officer. 27
