JUNIOR footy players at the Torquay Tigers have received a welcome boost of more than $2,000 worth of AFL equipment thanks to Macca\u2019s On Your Team, a community initiative from McDonald\u2019s.<\/p>\n
The equipment, including footballs, coach\u2019s boards and ball-carrying bags, was presented to members of the Tigers\u2019 under-9 and under-10 teams at the Torquay McDonald\u2019s store on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Now in its third year, Maccas On Your Team provides sporting equipment to junior AFL clubs throughout metro and regional Victoria, with equipment donations exceeding $1 million to date.<\/p>\n
The program aims to encourage Victorian junior sports participants to get involved in community sports, socialise with friends and lead active lifestyles.<\/p>\n
Stuart Coomes from McDonald\u2019s Torquay said he was thrilled to deliver AFL equipment mto his local football club and show his ongoing commitment to grassroots sport in the area.<\/p>\n
Torquay Tigers president Jen Wood said she was grateful for the donation from McDonald\u2019s, and the store had been a long-time supporter of her club.<\/p>\n
\u201cFootballs wear out or go missing; you can go through them very quickly. A full-size football costs about $100, so this sort of support is fantastic.\u201d<\/p>\n
As well as AFL, Maccas On Your Team also provides sporting equipment to community soccer clubs, basketball associations and schools throughout Victoria.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
