The Shepparton Football Netball Club will wear TAC Road Safety armbands during this weekend’s home clash against Mooroopna, as part of the statewide TAC Road Safety Round.
The armbands are a symbol of unity, encouraging safer driving with the message: “One death on our roads is too many.”
Club president Brendan Bicknell said the initiative was about more than sport. “It’s a reminder to every person who sees it — whether on the field, on the netball court, or on the sidelines — that road safety is everyone’s responsibility,” he said.
The TAC’s 2025 focus is on reducing speeding, with even minor speeding dramatically increasing crash risk.
The TAC Road Safety Round is just one part of SFNC’s broader involvement in the TAC Club Rewards Program, through which clubs can receive up to $10,000 in funding by leading proactive road safety efforts. The club will also be promoting safe driving messages via social media, community engagement, and internal education across all age groups.
Supporters attending this weekend’s home game are encouraged to wear blue, take photos with the armband displays, and share road safety messages using #TACBandTogether and #BeTheDifference.
“This weekend is about football, netball and family — but it’s also about making sure everyone gets home safely,” Bicknell said. “Let’s band together and Be The Difference.”
