2013 WRFL-WESTERN BULLDOGS HEARTLAND AWARD
Heartland Award Concept
The WRFL-Western Bulldogs Heartland Award is a new
initiative developed to promote and encourage 'good
sportsmanship' for WRFL junior players from the Under
9's, through to the Under 14's inclusive, as well as the
Under 13 Youth Girls teams.
The award is an effective way to teach our young players
an important life skill in that while it's always good
to win, the old adage "It's not whether you win or lose,
it's how you play the game that counts", is an important
element in our junior player's development.
The idea is, that at the conclusion of each match, when
the two teams come together to shake hands, the coach
from the home team will select one player from the
opposition side, who they believe embodies the true
essence of the game-that being fair play, fun,
involvement and respect for both opposition and umpires.
That player will be presented with a special Heartland
Award certificate, which gives them the chance to go
into the draw to win the major prize of a unique
Bulldogs experience with Jordan Roughead.
