Community sports clubs help people to be active and feel connected to their local community. As well as being places to share a passion for sport, grassroots clubs are key to member health and wellbeing – both on and off the field. The food and drinks available or promoted at your club effect how healthy the club environment is overall.
In this toolkit you will find resources to help your club introduce healthier food and drink options. The tools have been created and curated by experts in healthy eating and/or sport and recreation to assist your club to make the switch.
Many of the resources in this toolkit are based on the Victorian Government Healthy Choices Guidelines1, which use a traffic light system2 to classify food and drinks according to how healthy they are. Leisure centres, schools and workplaces also use these resources.
