Championship Moves to Play On with Melbourne Heart
The Victorian Government's Championship Moves campaign is renewing its successful partnership with Melbourne Heart Football Club into the 2011-12 A-League season.
Member for Caulfield, David Southwick, representing Crime Prevention Minister, Andrew McIntosh, has launched the extended partnership at Melbourne Heart training in Bundoora, alongside Melbourne Heart CEO, Scott Munn.
"The Championship Moves campaign targets men aged 18 to 25 – those most at risk of falling victim to alcohol-related violence," Mr Southwick said.
"We are hammering home the message that real champions look out for their mates when having a drink and a good time."
"As an official campaign partner, Melbourne Heart Football Club will greatly assist in communicating the key messages of this campaign to young men in our community."
The partnership includes Melbourne Heart Vice Captain, Matt Thompson taking on the role of Championship Moves ambassador throughout the 2011-12 season.
"I hope Melbourne Heart Football Club's partnership with Championship Moves will encourage more young Victorians to look after their mates and bring wider attention to the campaign," Mr Thompson said.
The campaign also includes a 'Championship Moves' Challenge where entrants can enter a competition by submitting videos of their best freestyle football moves. The winner will receive two tickets to the Hyundai A-League grand final, including airfares and accommodation.
