The Family inclusion Program is an information package designed to increase the participation rate of junior activities family members by educating them about the movement highlighting:

• The benefits for their children in being involved in junior activities
• The opportunities and benefits to them as family members to become involved in the movement
• The benefit to their family unit as a whole of being involved in the movement
• The benefit to their club from being involved in the movement
• The benefits to their local community from being involved

The program should be delivered within the first 4 weeks of the Nipper season by an experienced member of the club to ensure maximum engagement with your new and existing members.
