Toyota AFL ClubHelp Website

The new & improved Toyota AFL ClubHelp Website – https://www.play.afl/clubhelp is now operational. The AFL has overhauled the site to significantly improve the user experience for club volunteers, using feedback from community football volunteers as guidance.

Tips, guides, and policies across a range of areas that local clubs focus on can be found via 40 pages on the site compared to well over 200 on the old site. A sub-heading menu has also been added to help club volunteers go directly to what they are looking for.
