Coaching for the better

THE Warburton Millgrove Football Netball Club (WMFNC) will run a campaign this month to teach their player, and the community, about what they can lose off the field.
The club will host a free Gamblers Help information seminar from 7.30pm on Wednesday 17 February.
Club events organiser Steve Caldwell said the WMFNC committee felt committed to educate the players, as well as the community, with self-help programs.
“It’s pretty normal for a lot of people out here to got to the pub, have a counter-meal and put some bets on,” Mr Calswell said.
“The committee felt that we really owed it to the player to run a few programs.
“We thought we wouldn’t just teach them football.”
Ex-AFL football player, and one-time problem gambler, David Schwarz will lead the seminar on the dangers of gambling — through his own life experiences.
Diane Jenkins from Gamblers Help will also attend the night.
Thanks to funding from Yarra Community Enterprise the information seminar is a free night open to all of the community.
