Melton will be back in the Reclink Victorian Football League this year.
The league is welcoming back a Melton team as part of an all-inclusive and free program that aims to make sports and recreation accessible to people from all backgrounds.
Reclink senior sport and recreation coordinator for metro west and Mitchell shire Cooper MacDonald said the team will compete in the Reclink Victorian Football League, which is a league set up around Victoria, with teams competing all the way from Geelong to Frankston to La Trobe out to Ballarat.
The all-inclusive team is open for those above 16 years of age of all genders and backgrounds.
“Each team is set up to engage those that are socially vulnerable and socially disadvantaged through physical activity while also forming meaningful social connections with people in the community,” MacDonald said.
Games will be scheduled every second week, alternating with training sessions, which will take place on Wednesdays from 11 to about 2pm. The sessions are set to be at Melton Recreation Reserve.
Member agencies interested in getting involved with the team are encouraged to reach out to MacDonald, enabling more groups to access this program.
