Underage sports alcohol policy
The policy has been drawn up in conjunction with a number of major sporting bodies who have been growing increasingly concerned by the drinking culture which has grown among young people. It looks at the way alcohol is not only promoted, but also used in sports celebrations. It states that: “Where underage clubs and teams are sponsored by publicans, only the name of the publican will appear on the jersey with no reference to premises.
“VFI members should desist from the practice of filling cups with alcohol for victorious underage teams.
