“Whilst trying to provide some form of normality for junior players, this season for junior sport is about providing juniors with an outlet for both their mental and physical health in a supportive team environment,” AFL Barwon said in a statement.
“AFL Barwon understands the importance of community connection and junior sport, and we are delighted to be able to give our junior members of the region the opportunity to say “Let’s Play” in 2020.”
